You can make fresh, flavorful green beans that taste gourmet with this simple roasting method. This recipe uses garlic, butter, and Parmesan cheese to create a satisfying side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday tables.

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
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  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 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 the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the beans, and return to the oven.
  8. Roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and the cheese is lightly golden.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can toss the beans with a little extra olive oil before roasting.
  • If you prefer a Southern Style Green Beans flavor, substitute the Parmesan with a small piece of bacon cooked until crisp, reserving the rendered fat to toss with the beans instead of butter.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
