Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Prep: 10 minutes · Cook: 15 to 17 minutes · Total: About 27 minutes · Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, stem ends trimmed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Place a large rimmed sheet pan in the oven while it heats.
2. Wash the green beans and dry them thoroughly; excess water makes them steam instead of brown.
3. Toss the beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Carefully spread the beans in one layer on the hot pan. Roast for 10 minutes.
5. Turn the beans, sprinkle evenly with Parmesan, and roast for 5 to 7 minutes more, until browned in spots and crisp-tender.
6. Transfer to a serving dish and toss with lemon zest and lemon juice. Taste before adding more salt because Parmesan is salty.

Cook’s notes

Use finely grated—not thickly shredded—Parmesan so it adheres to the beans. If your pan is small, use two pans; crowding traps steam and prevents browning.

Storage and reheating

Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat on a sheet pan at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes. The microwave works, but the beans will be softer.
