Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen green beans in this recipe. There's no need to thaw them beforehand. Simply toss the frozen beans with the oil, garlic, parmesan, salt, and pepper, then follow the rest of the recipe as directed. Keep in mind that frozen green beans may take slightly longer to roast, so be sure to check their texture and crispiness around the 18–20-minute mark.

How can I make this recipe spicier?

To add a spicy kick to your crispy garlic parmesan roasted green beans, try adding red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture. A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes will complement the garlic and parmesan, giving your green beans an extra burst of heat without overpowering the flavor.

Can I substitute parmesan with another type of cheese?

Absolutely! If you're out of parmesan or looking for a different flavor, you can substitute it with other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Asiago. Both of these cheeses have a similar texture and sharpness, making them great alternatives. You could even experiment with a blend of different cheeses for a more complex flavor.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
Trim both ends off your green beans and place them in a large bowl.
Add the green beans, oil, garlic, parmesan, salt, and pepper to the bowl and toss until fully coated.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. It’s okay if a few beans are overlapping.
Roast in the oven for 15–20 minutes or until golden and crispy, checking for doneness around 10–12 minutes.
Once roasted, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the beans, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Be sure to trim the ends of the green beans before roasting to prevent them from becoming tough.
If using frozen green beans, there’s no need to thaw them. They may need a slightly longer roasting time.
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
Store leftover roasted green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
