Roasted Green Beans topped with Parmesan come out perfectly charred and tender – SO good, I can literally eat the whole batch and made with just four ingredients!

Roasted Parmesan Green Beans

I am not a fan of boiled or mushy green beans, which is why I love them roasted. They come out tender yet crisp and are so delicious, especially as a side to a dish like Baked Chicken Breasts or Rosemary and Lemon Roasted Chicken! Try these wrapped in bacon green beans too! And if green beans aren’t your thing, you can try these with Roasted Asparagus.

How to cook green beans in oven

An easy side dish I make quite often, you can season them however you like, add some crushed red pepper for a little kick or leave the Parmesan off to keep them dairy-free. If you want to double the recipe, I suggest using two baking sheets. Serve them immediately out of the oven for best results.

How To Make Roasted Green Beans

  1. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Drizzle green beans with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Roast them in a single layer 425F until slightly charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. If desired, top with Parmesan cheese.

Variations

  • Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top instead of Parmesan cheese
  • Add grape halved tomatoes with the green beans and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze at the end.
  • Make them in the air fryer, to do so air fry the green beans in an even layer, in batches as needed 400F 4-5 minutes, until beans are starting to blacken and blister.
