Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the trimmed green beans in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, and minced garlic.
- Pour the butter mixture over the green beans and toss well until every bean is coated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for crispier results.
- Roast for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the beans. Gently toss them on the pan.
- Return the beans to the oven and roast for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and the Parmesan is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve immediately as a quick side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the salt and pepper before roasting.
- If you want a Southern-style twist, you can substitute bacon grease for some of the olive oil.
- This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
