Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 lb fresh green beans
Seasoning & Coating
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 2 TBSP grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 TBSP panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or fresh roasted garlic)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the green beans.
- Prepare the Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh green beans with olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, salt, and garlic powder. Toss thoroughly to coat every bean evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Roast the Green Beans: Spread the coated green beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting and crispness.
- Serve: Once tender and golden, transfer the green beans to a serving platter. Sprinkle with an additional pinch of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor before serving warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure green beans are well coated and spread out evenly without overcrowding the pan.
- You can substitute garlic powder with fresh roasted garlic for a more intense garlic flavor.
- Use gluten-free panko bread crumbs to make this dish gluten-free if needed.
- Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting for a fresh tangy finish.
