Description
These crispy oven baked green beans with parmesan are a golden, cheesy side dish that’s quick, easy, and packed with flavor. Perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals, they deliver a satisfying crunch without frying.
Ingredients
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 minced garlic clove)
⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup panko bread crumbs (optional for extra crunch)
1 tablespoon lemon juice or chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Trim and wash green beans, then pat them completely dry.
3. Toss green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
4. Add parmesan cheese and optional panko; mix to coat evenly.
5. Spread beans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Roast for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
7. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end if you want extra crispiness.
8. Remove from oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to keep the beans crisp. Use freshly grated parmesan for optimal flavor and texture. To reheat leftovers, use an oven or air fryer instead of a microwave.
