Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans washed, trimmed and patted dry
- 3 large cloves garlic finely minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat™ baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans, garlic and olive oil together until coated. Spread the seasoned green beans on prepared baking sheet into a single layer without crowding. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or just until the beans are crisp tender, turning once halfway through.
- Remove from oven and transfer beans to a serving platter or bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese right before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
The green beans will become mushy if roasted too long. Test for doneness after 10 minutes and adjust final cook time accordingly.
This is a higher-carb side dish than many that I've included on this blog. With 6 g net carbs per serving, save these roasted green beans for a special occasion when you want to eat healthy but you're not super concerned about total carbs for the meal.
