Ingredients
1 lb fresh green beans
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Wash and thoroughly dry the green beans. Trim the ends.
3. In a large bowl, toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Add the grated parmesan and breadcrumbs, mixing gently to coat the beans.
5. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
6. Roast for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the beans are tender-crisp and the parmesan is golden brown.
7. Remove from oven, transfer to a dish, and serve hot. Add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Notes
Make sure green beans are completely dry before roasting to get that perfect crisp.
Use fresh parmesan for better melting and flavor over pre-grated varieties.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet — it ensures even roasting and caramelization.
