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.

What to Serve with Roasted Green Beans
