Ingredients
Scale
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the trimmed green beans on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, and minced garlic.
Pour the garlic butter mixture over the green beans and toss them well until every bean is coated.
Spread the green beans into a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for 12 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the beans are tender-crisp.
Serve immediately and give yourself a round of applause for making such a delicious vegetable side dish!
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can toss the beans with the oil and garlic, roast for 10 minutes, then add the Parmesan and roast for the final 5 minutes.
If you prefer a Southern-style flavor, substitute the Parmesan with a small amount of crumbled bacon added during the last few minutes of roasting.
