Can I use frozen green beans?

You can, but thaw and pat them very dry first. They won’t get as crisp as fresh, but they’ll still taste good.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.

Can I add other veggies to the same pan?

Sure. Keep sizes similar and use a second pan if needed. Thin veggies like asparagus or bell peppers work well with similar timing.

How do I keep the garlic from burning?

Toss thoroughly so it’s evenly spread. Check early and avoid placing too much garlic on the very edges of the pan.

Is there a good substitution for Parmesan?

Try Pecorino Romano for a saltier bite, or a dairy-free Parmesan alternative. Nutritional yeast also brings a savory, cheesy flavor.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Rinse the green beans under cold water and dry thoroughly with a towel.

3. Trim the stem ends. If any beans are very thick, split them lengthwise.

4. Place green beans in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.

5. Add minced garlic and toss again.

6. Sprinkle most of the finely grated Parmesan over the beans. Toss gently so the cheese lightly coats them. Reserve a little Parmesan for finishing.

7. Spread the beans in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.

8. Roast for 14–18 minutes, tossing once halfway through.
Check thinner beans around 10 minutes.

9. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the hot beans.

10. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add lemon zest or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure beans don’t steam. For larger batches, roast in rounds or use two pans. Keep an eye on thinner beans to prevent overcooking.
