Oven-Roasted Green Beans with Golden Garlic & Crispy Parmesan Crust
Crisp-tender green beans tossed with garlic, topped with a golden, cheesy crust — simple, elegant, and totally irresistible!
🛒 Ingredients
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Season the Green Beans
In a large bowl, toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet (don’t overcrowd for best crisping).
3️⃣ Add the Crispy Parmesan Topping
In a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle evenly over the green beans.
Add red pepper flakes if using.
4️⃣ Roast
Roast for 15–20 minutes, until the beans are tender-crisp and the topping is golden brown.
For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning).
5️⃣ Garnish & Serve
Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve with lemon wedges for a bright, fresh finish.
