Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the green beans. Trim the ends - this step is crucial for even cooking and better texture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, making sure each bean is lightly coated. This helps them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
  4. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding - this ensures they roast instead of steam.
  5. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the beans start to blister and develop brown spots. Remove from oven and sprinkle with minced garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
  6. Return to oven for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and fragrant. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Dry beans thoroughly after washing to ensure crispiness. Don't overcrowd the pan - use two baking sheets if necessary. Add garlic halfway through to prevent burning while still infusing flavor. Can be made with frozen green beans (thaw and pat dry first) or in an air fryer for faster cooking.
