Why Make This Recipe

Parmesan Roasted Green Beans are a simple and delicious side dish that can elevate any meal. They combine the fresh taste of green beans with the savory richness of Parmesan cheese. This recipe is quick to prepare and makes for a healthy addition to your dinner table, making it perfect for family meals or special occasions.

How to Make Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

  1. Begin by washing the green beans thoroughly and trimming both ends. Pat them dry completely to ensure they roast nicely without steaming.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated. This seasoning brings out the beans’ natural flavor and prepares them for roasting.
  3. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans, tossing gently to combine. The cheese will melt and crisp up during roasting, creating that irresistible golden layer.
  4. Spread the green beans evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Once roasted to a crisp, golden perfection, transfer the Parmesan Roasted Green Beans to a serving dish. Enjoy them warm for the best taste and texture.

How to Serve Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Parmesan Roasted Green Beans go well with almost any main dish. Serve them alongside grilled meats, fish, or pasta for a complete meal. They also make a great addition to holiday dinners or gatherings. You can sprinkle some extra Parmesan on top before serving for added flavor.

How to Store Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

If you have leftovers, let the green beans cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven or microwave until warm. Note that they may lose some of their crispiness after storage.

Tips to Make Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

  • Make sure to dry the green beans well after washing. This helps them roast rather than steam.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste; you can add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or herbs like thyme for extra flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this ensures they roast evenly and get crispy.

Variation

You can try different cheeses like Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast for a vegan option. Adding lemon zest before roasting can also give a refreshing twist to the flavor.

FAQs

Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen green beans, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before seasoning and roasting.

Can I add other vegetables?
Absolutely! You can mix in other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for a colorful and nutritious side dish.

How do I know when the green beans are done?
The green beans are done when they are tender and have a crispy golden color. You can taste one to check if they are cooked to your liking!

Hi, I’m Savannah Brooks, 35 years old, born in Charleston, South Carolina, and now living in Seattle, Washington. My kitchen is small but full of life shelves stacked with spices from all over the world, a sourdough starter that feels like part of the family, and usually a pot bubbling away with something hearty and comforting.

Food has always been the center of my world. Growing up in Charleston, I was surrounded by Southern cooking shrimp and grits, okra stews, biscuits that could melt in your mouth. My grandmother was the first person who showed me that recipes are more than instructions they’re stories passed from one hand to another. I still keep her stained recipe cards in a box, though I’ve long since memorized every one.

My path wasn’t traditional. I studied journalism first, thinking I’d write stories for a living. And I do but now I write them on the plate. After years of working late nights in small cafés, catering weddings, and even running a food truck, I found my true rhythm in cooking that bridges my Southern roots with global inspiration. These days, you’ll find me folding lemongrass into chicken soup, adding harissa to cornbread batter, or topping fried green tomatoes with a touch of miso.

I don’t believe cooking is about perfection it’s about connection. My kitchen is a place for experiments, happy accidents, and plenty of laughter. I’ve burned cookies, curdled sauces, and dropped more than one cake. But every mistake taught me something, and every shared meal reminded me why I love this work.

I cook for people who want food that feels like home but isn’t afraid to wander a little. My hope is that when someone takes a bite of my food, they feel cared for, seen, and maybe a little inspired to try something new in their own kitchen.

So, welcome to my world where Southern comfort meets global curiosity, and every dish tells a story.
