Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
Seasoning
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Topping
- â…“ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Toss Green Beans with Olive Oil: In a large bowl, place the trimmed green beans and drizzle with 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat the beans evenly with the oil.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper over the green beans. Toss thoroughly to ensure all beans are evenly seasoned.
- Coat with Parmesan and Breadcrumbs: Add ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese and ¼ cup breadcrumbs to the bowl. Mix well so the green beans are evenly coated with the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, adding a crunchy texture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to promote even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 18–22 minutes. Flip the green beans halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden and crispy texture.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added flavor.
Notes
- Ensure green beans are dry before coating for best crispiness.
- Use fresh breadcrumbs or panko for a crunchier texture.
- Adjust seasonings to taste; add more garlic powder or Italian seasoning if preferred.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts.
- Serve as a side dish with grilled meats, pasta, or as a healthy snack.
