Make fresh green beans crispy and flavorful by roasting them with garlic, butter, and Parmesan cheese. This recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday sides.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the trimmed green beans in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, and minced garlic.
  4. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the green beans and toss until they are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Roast for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper, and toss the beans.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to coat.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the green beans are dry before tossing them with the oil mixture.
  • If you prefer a Southern style, substitute bacon grease for the olive oil and add 2 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon at the end.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
