Description

Cheesy Garlic Green Beans is a delicious and easy side dish featuring fresh green beans roasted to tenderness and topped with a savory blend of garlic-infused olive oil, parmesan, and bubbly melted mozzarella cheese. This flavorful bake combines crisp-tender vegetables with a golden cheesy topping for a perfect balance of texture and taste, ideal for family dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound (about 500 g) fresh green beans, ends trimmed off

Cheese & Dairy

  • 1 and 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons shredded fresh parmesan cheese

Oils & Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped (or 1 tablespoon pre-minced garlic)
  • 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick oil to prevent sticking during roasting.
  2. Prepare the Green Beans: Spread the trimmed green beans out evenly on the greased baking sheet, ensuring they have space between them for even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, shredded parmesan, chopped garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
  4. Coat the Green Beans: Pour the garlic oil mixture evenly over the green beans. Use gloves or a spatula to toss and coat each bean thoroughly with the flavorful oil mixture.
  5. Bake the Green Beans: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the green beans for about 20 minutes. They should be bright green and still retain a bit of crispness.
  6. Add the Cheese Topping: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the roasted green beans.
  7. Broil Until Golden: Switch the oven to broil and return the green beans to the oven for 4 to 5 minutes. Broil until the mozzarella melts and develops a golden, bubbly crust.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully transfer the cheesy garlic green beans to a serving plate and enjoy while hot and gooey for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, trim the green beans uniformly to ensure even roasting.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount of garlic or roast whole garlic cloves with the beans.
  • Make sure to spread the green beans in a single layer to avoid steaming and to get a nice roasted texture.
  • The dish is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between crispy beans and melted cheese.
