ROASTED GREEN BEANS

With minimal ingredients, these oven roasted green beans are ready in no time at all.

• Green Beans:Our recipe starts by using fresh beans. Please try not to use canned as they are too soft for roasting — you want texture for this.
• Cheese: We use fresh parmesan and shredded mozzarella for this recipe, but you can use sliced mozzarella. You could also use Swiss cheese, Gruyere, Provolone or Monterey Jack.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic is always best and adds the most flavour for roasting when compared with garlic powder. You can use minced if you prefer. We love grating ours on the finest side of the grater for an almost pureed consistency that spreads better among the veggies.
• Olive Oil: A good glug of olive oil helps coat your beans in seasoning while crisping them up nicely in the oven. You can substitute oil for melted butter.

HOW TO COOK GREEN BEANS

Roasted green beans only take about 30 minutes to come together — including prep!

First things first, season with olive oil, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper before roasting them in the oven until tender-crisp (about 20 minutes). The parmesan gets so crispy and golden that you’d be forgiven for stopping right here!

Once your green beans are fork tender, top with mozzarella and broil (or grill) until the cheese is hot, melted and bubbling on the top.

Taste test and season with a little extra salt and pepper if they need it!
