Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil until evenly coated. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Mix well to distribute the seasonings.
  3. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not overcrowded to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the green beans are tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while the beans are still hot. The residual heat will melt the cheese perfectly.
  6. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish to your favorite main courses.

Notes

Dry beans thoroughly before tossing with oil for maximum crispiness. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - use two if needed. Freshly minced garlic and grated Parmesan provide superior flavor. Add red pepper flakes for heat or lemon zest for brightness.
