Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh, shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 4 cloves, minced)
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
- 1 ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the trimmed green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this mixture over the green beans, ensuring they are evenly coated by tossing gently.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the green beans are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.
- Remove the green beans from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over them. Return to the oven and broil or grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
