Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and trim green beans, then pat dry.
- Arrange green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle over green beans and toss to coat.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway, until tender and slightly charred. Optional: broil for 2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure green beans are dry before roasting to maximize crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning to taste—try adding lemon zest or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
