Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 1 lb (454 grams) fresh green beans
Main Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 2 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 400°F (200°C), ensuring an even temperature for optimal roasting.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine fresh green beans with extra virgin olive oil, finely grated Parmesan cheese, crispy Panko bread crumbs, kosher salt, and aromatic garlic powder.
- Thoroughly toss the green beans until each piece is completely and evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the seasoned green beans in a precise single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to promote proper caramelization.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, using a spatula to gently turn the beans midway through cooking to ensure uniform crispiness and tenderness.
- Once the green beans have developed a golden-brown color and reached a perfect crisp-tender texture, remove from the oven.
- Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving platter, finishing with an additional sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Prep this dish in under 30 minutes for a quick, delicious side that transforms boring vegetables into a crowd-pleasing sensation.
- Panko bread crumbs create an irresistible crispy texture that makes even veggie-hesitant family members ask for seconds.
- Grated Parmesan cheese adds a savory, nutty flavor that elevates simple green beans from ordinary to extraordinary.
- Roasting at high heat caramelizes the natural sugars in green beans, bringing out a deeper, more complex taste profile.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, though they’re best enjoyed immediately after cooking for maximum crunchiness.
