Ingredients Overview
Preparing Roasted Green Beans requires just a few basic ingredients, readily available at most grocery stores. Let’s dive into what you’ll need:
- Green Beans: Fresh, tender green beans are ideal, but frozen ones work too, though they may require a bit more cooking time.
- Garlic Powder: This adds a fresh, garlicky flavor to the beans. Alternatively, you can use freshly minced garlic for a more intense taste.
- Olive Oil: Essential for coating the beans evenly, olive oil also contributes healthy fats to the dish.
- Chili Flakes and Black Pepper: I use both for a bit of heat, but feel free to adjust the quantity to suit your spice preference.
- Italian Herbs: A blend of Italian herbs enhances the beans with a fresh aroma and flavor.
- Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkling Parmesan on top before roasting gives the green beans a deliciously crunchy texture.

Roasted Green Beans
Ingredients
- 1 lb Green Beans
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes
- 1 tsp Italian Herbs
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ tsp Pepper Powder
- 2 tsp Parmesan Cheese, finely grated

Instructions
To Make Roasted Green Beans
- Begin by trimming the ends of fresh green beans and thoroughly washing them in cold running water. After washing, pat them dry with a kitchen towel or a soft cotton cloth.
- In a bowl, combine the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, chili flakes, pepper powder, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Mix everything well to ensure the beans are evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned green beans on an oil-greased baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking.
- Bake the green beans in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes. They're done when they turn crispy, and the cheese develops golden spots.
- Once baked, remove the Roasted Green Beans from the oven. They are now ready to be savored and enjoyed.
To Serve
- Serve these Roasted Green Beans as a versatile side dish or as an entrée, paired beautifully with simple rice, your favorite chicken, or seafood dishes. They're a delightful addition to any meal, bringing a burst of flavor and nutrition

Chef's Notes and Tips
- Selecting Green Beans: Opt for fresh, tender green beans to prevent them from becoming tough when roasted. Avoid fibrous, hard, or mature pods, as they tend to turn tough during cooking.
- For Best Taste and Flavor: Elevate your green beans with a mix of garlic powder, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, chili flakes, pepper, and Italian herbs for a rich taste. For a unique twist, try garlic butter sauce or lemon juice. If you're craving Asian flavors, soy sauce or chili sauce can be excellent additions.
- Roasting Temperature: Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for perfectly crisp-tender green beans.
- Versatility with Other Veggies: Add potatoes, carrots, mushroom or other similar vegetables to create a wholesome one-sheet meal.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

Serve them alongside simple white or brown rice for a comforting meal, or elevate your dining experience by accompanying them with your favorite chicken dishes, roasted whole chicken, air fryer salmon, or other seafood like fish and shrimp.
