Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (or substitute with fresh roasted garlic if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the green beans.
- Toss Green Beans: In a large bowl, combine trimmed green beans, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, salt, and garlic powder. Toss well until the green beans are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until green beans are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and taste.
- Substitute panko crumbs with crushed almonds or walnuts for a nutty twist.
- Ensure green beans are dry before tossing to promote crispiness.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crisp texture.
