Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Save this recipe on:

Crispy, savory, and packed with rich flavor, these Parmesan Roasted Green Beans are the ultimate veggie side that’ll have even the pickiest eaters going back for seconds. With only a handful of ingredients and barely any prep time, this dish transforms simple green beans into a gourmet-worthy delight.

The magic happens in the oven. As the green beans roast, they become tender with slightly charred edges, while the Parmesan and garlic crisp up into a golden, cheesy crust. Whether you’re serving them alongside a holiday roast or a weeknight chicken dinner, they’re always a hit.

What Kind of Green Beans Should I Use?

Fresh green beans work best in this recipe. Look for firm, bright beans without blemishes. While you can use frozen green beans in a pinch, they may release more moisture and won’t crisp up as nicely. If using frozen, pat them dry thoroughly before tossing in oil and Parmesan.

Ingredients for the Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Fresh Green Beans – The star of the show. Choose beans that are vibrant green and snap easily.

Olive Oil – Helps coat the beans and gives them that perfectly roasted, tender texture.

Garlic (minced) – Adds a rich, aromatic kick that pairs beautifully with the cheese.

Grated Parmesan Cheese – Brings the salty, umami flavor and crisp texture when roasted.

Salt & Pepper – Basic but essential to enhance all the other ingredients.

How To Make the Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Step 1: Prep the Beans

Rinse your green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Pat them completely dry to help them roast instead of steam.

Step 2: Season and Toss

In a large bowl, toss the beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Then, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and toss until evenly coated.

Step 3: Arrange on a Baking Sheet

Spread the coated beans out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding so the beans roast evenly.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection

Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 18-22 minutes, or until the beans are tender with golden, crispy edges and the cheese is browned.
