Crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans Recipe
Introduction
Crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans are a delicious and easy side dish that combines tender green beans with a flavorful garlic and cheese coating. Perfectly roasted to achieve crispy edges, this recipe makes a wonderful addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs. green beans
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 6 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Lemon, to squeeze over the top (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Use two pans if needed to fit all the green beans comfortably.
- Step 2: Trim both ends off the green beans by snapping them with your hands or cutting with a knife. Place the trimmed beans in a large bowl.
- Step 3: Add the avocado oil, minced garlic, shredded parmesan, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the green beans. Toss everything together until the beans are evenly coated.
- Step 4: Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. It’s fine if a few overlap. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and have crispy edges.
- Step 5: Remove from the oven and, if desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately.
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, and mince it finely to ensure even roasting with the beans.
- Try substituting parmesan with pecorino or asiago cheese for a different cheesy twist.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting for a spicy kick.
- If you prefer softer beans, reduce roasting time slightly and cover with foil halfway through cooking.
Storage
Store leftover roasted green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a 350-degree oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness, or heat gently in a skillet on the stove.
