How to Make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans (Overview)

Making these green beans is super easy! Start by preheating the oven and trimming those beans. Don’t forget to mix in that delicious garlic and parmesan — it’s a game-changer. When everything’s coated and spread on the baking pan, just let your oven do its magic.

Pro tip: Don’t skip toasting the garlic — it makes all the difference! You’ll savor that nutty, aromatic flavor every bite. 😋

How to Serve Crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

These roasted green beans look as good as they taste! Their vibrant green color makes a beautiful contrast against the golden-brown parmesan crust. Serve them hot straight from the oven, and watch everyone swoon over the crunchy bites filled with garlicky goodness. Pair them with grilled chicken, steak, or even toss them into a salad for an extra crunch.

How to Store Crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

If you somehow have leftovers (not likely, but you never know), they’ll keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just store them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to reheat, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture. As for freezing, I wouldn’t recommend it since the crunch is part of the magic!

Tips to Make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Here are some insider tricks to elevate your green bean game:

• Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, garlic powder works too.
• Adjust the cheese: Swap parmesan for pecorino or nutritional yeast for a vegan twist.
• Crispier is better: Spread your beans out well to ensure airflow for that ultimate crunch.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding some spices like red pepper flakes for a kick, or even toss in some cherry tomatoes for a fun color twist. You could also replace the garlic with shallots for a milder, sweeter flavor. Endless possibilities!
