Roasted green beans with garlic, olive oil, and melted mozzarella for a flavorful, tender, and crisp vegetable side.
# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 -
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and rinsed
→ Oils and Fats
02 -
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
→ Cheese
03 -
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
04 -
1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
→ Aromatics and Seasonings
05 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
07 -
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick oil.
02 -
Spread the trimmed green beans in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to avoid crowding.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until combined.
04 -
Drizzle the garlic Parmesan oil evenly over the green beans and toss gently to ensure every bean is well coated.
05 -
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the green beans for 20 minutes, until tender with slight crispness and light browning on edges.
06 -
Remove the beans from the oven and evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top, spreading to cover as much surface as possible.
07 -
Switch the oven setting to broil and move the baking sheet to the top rack. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
08 -
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately while the cheese is melted and strings with every bite.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Dry green beans thoroughly before roasting to avoid steaming and ensure crispness.
02 -
Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore texture and melt cheese.
03 -
Parmesan and mozzarella provide the ideal balance of nutty savor and creamy melt.
