This year, my garden produced a TON of green beans! There is nothing like fresh beans picked from the vine. They’re perfect! With so many on hand, I began searching for new green bean recipes. That’s when I stumbled upon this great recipe for Parmesan Roasted Green Beans on a great blog I found — Cooking Tip of the Day.
The Recipe
2 cups fresh green beans
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the green beans. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the green beans to coat them evenly. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans. Toss again to coat the beans evenly with the Parmesan cheese.
Lay the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and the beans turn a light golden brown.

The first time I made these, I made enough my husband and I (my son had eaten at his grandparent’s house that night). I had every intention of sharing these with Jim. I’m ashamed to admit, though, that he didn’t get any green beans that night.
As soon as they came out of the oven, I tasted one. And then another. And then another….I think you get where this is going. Before I knew it, there were all gone.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this recipe this summer. We all love these beans. The only other thing I added to the recipe above was 1-2 cloves of minced garlic. Everything’s better with garlic in my book.
I HIGHLY recommend making this recipe! In fact, what are you having for dinner tonight?!?

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!

Thanks, Alison! I’ll be sure to stop by!
Thanks for visiting itsakeeper!
This sounds yummy! I bet I could get my hubby to eat some with the cheese and oil!
Oh my, these sound amazing! I really think that my family would love it. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing and thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday!
I would have eaten the whole bunch too – I love the simplicity of this – and the tastiness. I know my kids would like them too and I agree a little garlic belongs in most everything! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop!
I love fresh green beans…..and who doesn’t love chesse. These sound great, and I’m sure we all need new ideas for side dishes. Sadly I bought a bunch of canned green beans on sale a while back I’m trying to use up, but I’ll have to try your reciple later.
these sound delicious
I love green beans and your recipe. Garlic is great as you said, having picked it from your garden is also fabulous!
My friend gave me a big bunch of green beans from her garden, so I will be using your recipe:) Thanks!
What a fun way to enjoy green beans! Thanks for the recipe — and, @ itsakeeper — thanks for sharing your asparagus idea! Wow, great side dish recipes here today.
Simple and delicious. I love recipes like this. Thanks. 🙂
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.
I’ve never thought of roasting green beans before. That must really bring out a lot of flavor in them. I’ll have to give these a try. By the way, I’m holding a CSN giveaway on my blog and you’re welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/11/45-csn-giveaway.html
These sound so good, I’ve bookmarked them! We love green beans in our house, and with the olive oil and parmesan they would be just amazing.
Thanks for the shout out… and I’m glad you liked my green bean recipe… enjoy!
