roasted parnesan green beans



My sister, Lisa, found this recipe and served it at her daughter's graduation party.  These green beans are quick and easy and will be great with fresh beans from the farmstand when in season.  The infused oil and the few seasonings provide a great flavor.  Using freshly grated cheese as they come out of the oven adds a great touch.  A microplane is a great way to grate the Parnesan from a block of cheese right onto the beans.  

Roasted Parmesan Green Beans:

24 oz fresh green beans cleaned and ends trimmed
4 tsp Tuscan Basil Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/4-1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 T shredded Parmesan

Preheat oven to 425°.
Lay beans on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Season with salt and garlic powder - toss to distribute spices.  Spread them on the pan and place in oven on the lower third section of the oven.  Bake 10 minutes - remove from oven and shake the pan to turn.  Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Lisa's kitchen helpers made these in batches and served them from the buffet server, swapping out an empty pan for a full one.  All of the beans were prepped ahead of time and in zippered storage bags.
