Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen cut green beans
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the green beans to a crispy, golden finish.
- Prepare green beans: In a mixing bowl, combine the frozen green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the beans with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned green beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking and browning. The green beans should be tender with crisp edges when done.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Remove the beans from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot green beans. Toss lightly to combine and allow the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a flavorful side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the green beans out well on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
- Feel free to substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese for a different flavor profile.
- You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight spicy kick.
- If you prefer fresh green beans, blanch them briefly before roasting to ensure they cook evenly.
