Oven-Roasted Green Beans (30-Minute Side Dish)
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- Salt + pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup parmesan, freshly grated ((I recommend parmigiano-reggiano))
- 1/2 a lemon, juice
- 1–2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped ((to garnish))
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Place green beans on baking sheet. Toss in olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer after tossing.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan over green beans, covering evenly.
- Transfer green beans to the oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and slightly crispy. The beans should be fork-tender, with a slight bit of resistance – you still want a little crunch to them (not mushy)!
- Remove green beans from oven and top with freshly squeezed lemon juice and parsley. Season with extra salt and pepper, as needed. Serve hot!
