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
- 1/2 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 on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, and minced garlic.
- Pour the butter mixture over the green beans and toss them well to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Spread the green beans into a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the beans are tender-crisp.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot green beans and toss gently to coat.
- Serve your flavorful green beans right away.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can briefly place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
- 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 is great for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
