Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds fresh green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan
  • Lemon wedges optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse the green beans and pat them completely dry. Spread them on the pan and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer.
  3. Roast for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top. Roast for 5–7 minutes more, until the beans are crisp-tender and browned in spots and the cheese is golden.
  5. Squeeze a little lemon over the top, if you like, and serve.

Notes

  • Dry the beans well. Wet beans steam in the oven and won’t brown.
  • The garlic goes in partway through so it doesn’t burn.
  • Using frozen green beans? Roast them straight from frozen and add about 5 minutes to the first roast.
  • Feeding a crowd? Double the recipe and use two pans so the beans aren’t crowded.
