Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 lb fresh green beans
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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to prepare for roasting the green beans.
- Prepare Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, toss the fresh green beans with olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, salt, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
- Roast the Green Beans: Spread the coated green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through roasting to ensure they cook evenly and become tender with a crisp texture.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving platter and sprinkle with an extra amount of Parmesan cheese before serving for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For extra garlic flavor, use fresh roasted garlic instead of garlic powder.
- Stirring halfway through roasting helps the green beans cook evenly and prevents burning.
- Panko bread crumbs add a nice crunch but can be omitted for a lighter version.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
