Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans washed, dried, and trimmed
4 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon course ground black pepper or to taste
3 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. If you're using aluminum foil spray with nonstick baking spray.
Wash beans. Trim the ends off. Pat dry with paper towels.
Melt butter in the microwave. Drizzle over the beans. Toss to coat.
Add salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Spread beans on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Return to oven and bake for 3-5 more minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the beans are desired doneness. They should be crispy on the outside and firm but tender on the inside. They'll have golden brown spots on them.
Serve immediately.

Notes

There are about 3 cups of green beans in a pound. I typically plan on feeding 4 people with one pound of green beans. That's 3/4 a cup of beans per person.

Olive oil can be used instead of butter in this recipe, although I love the flavor of using butter.

Use bright green beans that are about the same size so they'll roast evenly.

Cooking times will vary slightly depending on how fresh the beans are and desired doneness. They'll get a nice caramelized color on them when they're done. However, if you like them more tender or crisper you may need to adjust the baking time. You can poke the beans with a fork to check to see if they are cooked to your liking.
