Now I know what to do with the green beans for tomorrow night. We’re having lasagna too.
This recipe sounds great! We love green beans, but usually stick to steamed with just a bit of salt. I think I’ll try this recipe the next time I made fresh green beans!
Thanks for sharing!

These sound delicious, thanks so much. Always looking for a new way to cook green beans.
We do this with asparagus, but it never occured to me to try it with other veggies. Thanks for the great dinner tip!
Momma Mindy — I have a similar recipe with asparagus, except you put thinly sliced tomatoes onto of the asparagus and then top with the parmesan cheese! It’s soooo good!
I adore garlic. You are so right *everything* is better with garlic 😉
LOVE this recipe. I”m not ashamed to admit that the first time that I made parmesan roasted green beans.. my husband didn’t get a chance at them.
This looks amazing–green beans are my 5yo’s favorite vegetable, so I think this is going to be a “must do”. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my yum! They look and sound so delicious! I can’t wait to try them.
