Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 grams) fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal roasting environment for the green beans.
- Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly coat green beans with extra virgin olive oil, Parmesan cheese, Panko bread crumbs, kosher salt, and garlic powder, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Positioning: Spread the seasoned green beans in a single, uncrowded layer on a rimmed baking sheet to facilitate maximum caramelization and crispy texture.
- Roasting: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, gently rotating the beans halfway through to achieve uniform golden-brown edges and perfect tenderness.
- Finishing: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter, garnishing with an additional sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese to elevate the flavor profile and visual appeal.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Beans: Ensure green beans are completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Master Even Coating: Use clean hands to gently massage oil and seasonings, guaranteeing each bean gets an equal flavor distribution.
- Spacing Matters: Spread beans in a single layer with minimal overlap to create crispy, caramelized edges instead of steamed, soft beans.
- Cheese Tip: Use freshly grated Parmesan for superior melting and deeper flavor compared to pre-packaged options.
