Ingredients

For the Green Beans

1 pound Fresh Green Beans Use fresh for the best crunch; frozen can work if thawed and dried well.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil Extra virgin adds richness and enhances browning effects.

For the Seasoning

3 cloves Garlic (Minced) Fresh garlic brings pungent warmth and depth of flavor.
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances the garlic flavor for a deliciously layered taste.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Adds a hint of sweetness to perfectly balance the savory notes.
1 teaspoon Salt Essential for bringing out the natural flavors of the green beans.
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Introduces mild heat; adjust according to your spice preference.
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional for a bit of heat; skip if you want it milder.

For the Flavoring

1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Creates a crispy, flavorful coating; try dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Optional, adds a refreshing brightness that uplifts the dish.
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Garnish for added color and fresh herbal notes.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and trim the ends off the fresh green beans. Dry them thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss to coat.
Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
Roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot beans. Toss to coat.
Drizzle with lemon juice and toss lightly. Optionally sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
Serve warm on a platter as an impressive side for any meal.
