Crispy Parmesan Green Beans
Description
Green beans are trimmed and gently coated with olive oil, then seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. This seasoning layers flavors without overpowering the natural green bean freshness. The addition of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese before baking at 425°F creates a crisp crust that complements the tender vegetable beneath.
The high oven heat roasts the beans to fork-tender while browning the bread crumbs and melting the cheese for a golden, flavorful topping. Serving immediately preserves the contrast between the crispy topping and tender beans.
A suggested finishing touch is a drizzle of balsamic glaze to enhance brightness and balance the richness of the Parmesan and olive oil.
Ingredients
- 1 ½-2 pounds green beans ends trimmed, patted dry
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese more to taste, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a large baking sheet. Toss green beans in olive oil to coat, then spread out on prepared baking sheet.
- Season green beans with salt and pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Sprinkle panko and parmesan over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until green beans are fork-tender. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve the green beans immediately after baking to maintain the crispy topping texture.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze for added brightness and flavor contrast.
