Ingredients:
- 1 pound (500 g) green beans, ends trimmed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 4 cloves garlic, minced)
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the trimmed green beans on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re evenly spread out for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, shredded parmesan cheese, minced garlic, kosher salt, and fresh cracked black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful oil mixture.
- Drizzle the prepared oil mixture over the green beans, ensuring that they are evenly coated. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the green beans, making sure they’re coated in the seasoned oil.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the green beans for about 20 minutes, or until they are vibrant and tender-crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once the green beans are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and switch the setting to broil (or grill). Broil the green beans for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Once the cheese is bubbly and golden, remove the green beans from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
- Enjoy the irresistible combination of tender green beans, savory garlic, and gooey melted cheese with every flavorful bite!
