🥘 Ingredients
Green Beans- You will need some freshly washed and trimmed green beans.
Olive Oil- Use olive oil to help the green beans to cook more evenly and to adhere the garlic and cheese to them.
Minced Garlic- You can use freshly minced garlic or the stuff from a jar.
Shredded Parmesan Cheese- Using shredded parmesan cheese will give us a wonderful contrast in flavor and melty cheesy goodness on every green bean.

🍴 Recipe Tips
I like my roasted green beans with parmesan to be firm and crisp to the bite, but if you like yours softer, add a few minutes to the cooking time (and keep a close eye on it).
I also highly recommend using parchment paper or foil as a liner for these because it makes cleaning up a breeze. No one likes scrubbing melted cheese off of bakeware, am I right?
🧾 How to Prep Green Beans
Prepare your green beans by first rinsing them in a colander under cool running water to remove any dirt.
Place the green beans on a towel to dry as you prepare a cutting board and knife.
Place the green beans horizontally onto the cutting board and arrange them so that the ends are all even with each other. I like to place my knife at the base of them and scoot them slightly to the left (I'm right-handed) and make sure that they're all even that way.
Next, use a large knife to trim off the ends. Trimming off about ¼ of an inch is fine. The goal is to remove those hard ends. You may need to trim some green beans more than others.
Alternatively, you can pick up each green bean and use your fingers to snap off the ends but this will take much longer.
If needed, cut or snap green beans in half so that they are all relatively the same length.
