Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: lemon zest, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the green beans completely dry — this is key for crispiness.
- Toss beans with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Spread into a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
- Roast 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Sprinkle Parmesan during the last 5 minutes for perfect melt and crisp.

Notes
- Tip #1: Dry green beans thoroughly to get a crisp roast.
- Tip #2: Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melt and flavor.
- Tip #3: Roast at high heat (425°F) for caramelization.
