Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (10-ounce) bag green beans frozen and cut
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cooking Liquid:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Warm your oven to exactly 425°F, preparing a flat baking sheet for the frozen green beans.
- Empty the entire 10-ounce bag of frozen green beans into a mixing bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil across the beans.
- Shake ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper over the beans. Toss everything until each bean gets completely coated.
- Spread the seasoned beans in a single layer across the baking sheet, ensuring no beans are overlapping or crowded.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 425°F oven and roast for precisely 15-20 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through cooking to guarantee even browning.
- Remove the beans when their edges look crispy and slightly darkened. Let them rest for 2 minutes to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese over the hot beans, allowing the residual heat to help the cheese adhere perfectly.
Notes
- Check green beans for freshness and trim off any woody ends before seasoning.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- For extra crispiness, make sure green beans are completely dry before tossing with oil and seasonings.
- When freezing roasted green beans, let them cool completely and store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
