Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Step 2: Toss the Green Beans
- In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

(💡 Pro Tip: For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat!)
Step 3: Arrange & Roast

- Roast for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
(💡 For Extra Crispiness: Broil on high for 1-2 minutes at the end for a crispy, cheesy topping!)
