These green beans with Parmesan come together super fast and they are roasted, not fried.

I show you how to turn boring green beans into cheesy, crispy, and delicious roasted green beans with Parmesan, spending only 5 minutes in the kitchen!

Easy Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Roasted green beans with Parmesan are one of the few recipes that when I begged my kids with the usual “just try it, you might like these…” they did! While my oldest loves green beans steamed, sautéed, baked…you name it; my boys are a bit tougher to crack. 

I decided to turn boring green beans into fun and tasty “fries” with the help of a little cheese. Because Parmesan cheese, my friends, is like magic fairy dust when it comes to making some foods appealing to kids.

Besides the fact that the cheesy crunch is hard to resist, the green beans will be on your plate in 20 minutes or less! And you can shorten the prep time even more by having the green beans washed and cut in advance, or by using frozen green beans. Amazing!

Fresh or frozen

You can use fresh or frozen green beans for this recipe. If using frozen, thaw them first before baking.

How to Make Roasted Green Beans with Parmesan 

To make these roasted green beans with Parmesan, simply season them well, arrange them in a single layer on a lined baking sheet, and let the oven do its work!

With the oven preheated to 425F, this easy vegetable side dish is ready in 12 to 15 minutes, when the green beans are crispy and the Parmesan cheese has browned.

Watch this quick video and see how easy this recipe is to make:

What to Serve with Roasted Green Beans

These Parmesan roasted green beans pair with everything! How to decide? Well, I have to admit that garlic chicken is my favorite protein to serve with these green beans. They also go amazingly well with baked salmon, chicken pasta, oven kabobs, or mixed with other roasted vegetables. Yummy!

    Chinese barbecue sauce (homemade with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce) usually does the trick–especially if grill the vegetables (green beans are a favorite) so they get a little caramelized.

    I have 6 grandchildren and 5 will eat their veggies without any problem. However, there my youngest is very picky. I have used Hidden Valley as a dip which works great because they all like it. We are growing a garden which they all helped to plant. They also like eating foods that are cut into smaller pieces and then served in a cupcake pan.

    The one thing that helps make veggies more appealing in my household ?…. I don’t know if there is any magic wand I can wave to consistently get my twin toddler boys to chow down on their veggies. With that said however, I can say that my oven roasted brussels sprouts are 95% of the time a sure-fire win. My husband and I love them too – so even if the kids don’t eat them on any given night; more for us !

    One thing that has make veggies more appealing is peanut butter. We use natural peanut butter on carrots, broccoli, celery, and cucumbers. This is an at home fix only as we cannot take peanut butter to school or out to play with friends due to allergies.

    My picky eater son goes through phases of liking certain vegetables. Lately, I’ve gotten him to like wraps and am sneaking spinach in which he doesn’t complain about, but raw veg. only goes down with ranch dressing!! This green bean recipe looks good, but I really don’t know how you keep the cheese on those beans!!

    For me, I love adding coconut oil drizzled on top of cooked/roasted veggies! Thankfully it hasn’t been too hard getting my husband to try new selections. I would have to say adding a touch of garlic/onion salt with olive oil seems to please the both of us when we are trying new things.

    Each week I let my daughter pick one new item in the produce section at the grocery or from the farmer’s market. Some weeks it’s fruit and some weeks it’s veggies but having some choices has made her more adventurous. She also will try things sometimes if we sing the Try New Things Song from Daniel Tiger. What ever it takes, right?

    I think in our house of boys there are two key things that make veggies ….yummy.
    1. grow them – the boys have such pride picking beans off the plant they’ve planted.
    2. hummus – it’s more like ” would you like veggies with all that hummus?”

    My daughter prefers her veggies cold and plain, but my son loves steamed veggies – crisp but hot! For some veggies, he likes ranch dip (salads, carrots) but for others (beans, peas, peppers) he likes them tossed in a sesame soy sauce. We have a small garden and they both are more excited about eating the vegetables that they grew themselves. I love these bbq mats – thanks for sharing!

    This choice “cold or hot” helps my kids eat frozen peas. They get to choose. Our avid eater of frozen peas frozen has recently switched to “hot.” I think the choice really helps them feel like they have a say.

    From the time our granddaughter started eating we introduced vegetables first. She loves plain yogurt and enjoys dipping raw vegetables in it. We grow our own vegetables and have had her in the garden since before she could walk. She loves beans, peas, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn and onions fresh from the garden (we take a bucket of water to wash them). Although she prefers them raw, she also likes her vegetables sauteed in olive oil just till crisp tender.

    Honestly, nothing 🙁 I haven’t found anything yet that appeals to my littles (7, 4, 2) but I keep trying.andtrying.andtrying. Growing our own, visiting our farmers’ market, where the farmers offer tastings to the kiddos, plain, with cheese, with dip, roasted, steamed, raw. It’s just rejection after rejection. But veggies are offered (read on the plate) at both lunch and dinner, regardless.

    In my house everything tastes better with cheese or butter. We are just starting on this vegetable journey and it’s tough. But if we melt a tiny bit of cheese and butter, or a little ranch, we can sometimes make it thru dinner without “eeeewwww” or “cauliflower makes me gag”! It just depends on the day, the mood, and the moon!!

    Ranch dressing is a big hit to help with the intake of veggies! I heard it once from a pediatrician that the kids can afford a little extra calories, so offer them the dips (ranch, ketchup, bbq sauce, whatever) if it helps them eat their veggies. I’ve made a version of these before, it seems I liked them the best though. This idea also works with asparagus – very yummy as well.

    A lot of people I know hide vegs. in foods they make and their kids eat it, they don’t even know it’s in there…for instance, add carrots, to meatloaf…..you can chop them real fine and add them to the meatloaf mixture, add celery, etc. things you know your kids would not eat otherwise….and if they like meatloaf, they don’t know it’s in there and they eat it…..you could add zucchini, also…..
    Always just give your kids a few of whatever they don’t like and maybe they will eat it, would be better to eat 4 greenbeans, than eat 10 and then they will learn to like them….they need to try different vegs. not just French fries……that is my solution….:)

      That really helps my kids, too. My youngest eats tomatoes right off the plant, as if they were apples! I planted a decent sized garden this year and very little has actually made it to the dinner table because they eat it right away. (We’re Primal, so there weren’t any beans or peas)

      Another thing I’ve found to work very well is some philly with onion and fresh chives. I make “creamed” just about any kind of green with a that and some garlic, salt, and pepper. (That’s the only way I can get my kids to eat kale)

      My family likes it when I jazz them up with seasonings like garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and etc. They also like them in casseroles, salads, pasta salads, and with dips.

      We make them as natural as we can. Steam or roast with little to no seasoning. If we saute, we use coconut oil that enhances the flavors. Yum!
