How to Make This Recipe

1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

2: Prepare the Green Beans

• Wash the fresh green beans and trim the ends.
• Pat them dry completely to ensure they roast properly instead of steaming.

3: Season the Green Beans

• In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, onion powder, garlic, salt, black pepper, and shredded parmesan cheese.
• Add the green beans and toss them well to coat evenly.

4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet

• Spread the seasoned green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

5: Bake the Green Beans

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
• Check halfway through and toss the green beans for even roasting.

6: Add the Cheese

• Remove the green beans from the oven and sprinkle them with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• The cheese adds a gooey, melty layer that enhances the flavor.

7: Broil for Extra Crispiness

• Turn the oven to broil and return the green beans for 4-5 minutes.
• Watch closely to prevent burning. The cheese should be golden and bubbly.

8: Serve and Enjoy

• Remove from the oven and let the green beans cool for a couple of minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Serve hot as a delicious low-carb side dish.
