Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans
2 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
2 TBSP panko bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder (or fresh roasted garlic as a substitute)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, salt, and garlic powder. Toss everything together until the green beans are evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the coated green beans out in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Step 4: Roast the green beans in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and crisp to your liking.
Step 5: Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving platter. For extra flavor, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a garlic boost, use fresh roasted garlic instead of garlic powder.
Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Substitute panko with crushed almonds or walnuts for a nutty texture.

Storage

Store leftover roasted green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes to retain crispness.

How to Serve

A clear glass bowl sits on a wooden cutting board lined with a white cloth, filled with fresh, whole green beans as the base layer, vibrant and smooth with slight shine. On top, there is a generous pile of shredded light yellow cheese finely layered, followed by a sprinkle of fine white grated cheese that dusts both the cheese and green beans beneath. Nearby, metal tongs with black handles rest on the board. The background is a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?

Instructions

Notes

Use fresh green beans for best texture and flavor.
Swap garlic powder with freshly roasted garlic for a deeper, fresher taste.
If you prefer a crispier texture, leave the green beans in the oven slightly longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
Panko bread crumbs can be substituted with regular fine bread crumbs if needed.
This side dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or pasta dishes.
