Ingredients

▢ 1 pound fresh green beans - trimmed
▢ 1½ tablespoon olive oil
▢ ½ teaspoon onion powder
▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ ¼ teaspoon black pepper
▢ ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese - more or less to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Season the green beans. Pat the green beans very dry, then add them to a large mixing bowl. Toss with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
Roast. Spread the beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 14 to 18 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the beans are crisp tender with lightly browned spots.
Finish and serve. Transfer to a serving platter and top with Parmesan shaves (and any other desired garnishes). Serve immediately.

Notes

Dry the beans well so they roast properly. Excess water will cause them to steam.
Do not overcrowd the pan. The beans should be in a single layer with a little space between them. Use two baking sheets if you double the recipe.
Use a hot oven. Roasting at 425 degrees F helps the beans brown before they turn mushy.
Season to taste. Kosher salt, garlic powder, and onion powder keep the flavors simple, but you can add smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, or Italian seasoning for variety.
Add toppings after roasting. Parmesan, nuts, or lemon zest are best added once the beans come out of the oven so they stay bright and flavorful.
If your green beans are thicker, they may need the full 18 minutes of roasting time. Thinner beans will cook more quickly.
