    Ingredients

    • 1 pound (500g) green beans, ends trimmed
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons fresh Parmesan cheese, shredded
    • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
    • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

    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.
    • Make sure they are evenly coated.

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


    Step 3: Arrange & Roast

    • Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
    • 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!)


    Step 5: Garnish & Serve

    • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley (if using).
    • Serve warm and enjoy these irresistible, cheesy green beans!
