Roasted Parmesan Green Beans
Out of my three children my daughter is my least picky eater. She will eat just about anything you put in front of her especially if it’s on her Momma’s plate! 🙂 What is it about a Mom’s or parents dinner plate that makes the food that much more appealing? One of my daughters favorite food is green beans…which is a funny favorite for a 3 year old. This recipe for roasted parmesan green beans is a delicious recipe that is great as a side dish for any meal, and I don’t know about you but I am always look for easy sides. It pairs well with a protein centered meal and also pasta, which we have weekly.
You only need a few pantry staples to put together this easy side dish recipe. I find that green beans with a tab of butter gets a little boring and the crunch the panko bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese adds to this dish is delicious! They are tossed in a delicious seasoning and then roasted until perfection.
The prep time for these parmesan roasted green beans is perfect for a busy night! We mix together our veggies in one large bowl with a few other ingredients and the whole dish comes together in less than 30 minutes!
Here are the simple ingredients you will need:
- Fresh Green Beans – fresh really is best here as canned and frozen green beans will release too much liquid when roasting.
- Olive oil
- Grated or Shredded Parmesan Cheese – we prefer grated as it tends to stick to the green beans better than the shredded.
- Panko Bread Crumbs – we used plain bread crumbs but you can also use the seasoned.
- Salt – to taste
- Garlic powder – you could even swap with some fresh roasted garlic if desired
RECIPE TIPS:
- I like to use Panko Bread crumbs as I find they do better at crisping up than the traditional bread crumbs. We typically use plain bread crumbs but you could also use the already seasoned bread crumbs for another pop of flavor.
- For easy clean up add a layer of parchment paper or foil on top of your baking pan. Place your green beans in a single layer and following the roasting instructions in the recipe card.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a dash of black pepper on your finished green beans for another splash of flavor!
- Add some fresh garlic to your mixing bowl with the green beans, parmesan and panko bread crumbs for a garlic parmesan green beans variations.
- Add a touch of red pepper flakes to add some medium heat to your dish!
- Try this recipe with Broccoli or Cauliflower! It’s just as delicious with other veggies!
LEFTOVERS:
Any leftovers can be place in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. When reheating we choose to reheat our green beans in an oven to re-crisp the panko. In all honesty, we don’t have leftovers typically. 🙂

I love green beans and this recipe just might make it home for Thanksgiving lol. I was just curious, can you use frozen green beans? Also, can this be made in advance and frozen? I pre make most of my holiday side dishes.
I’m going to make these for Thanksgiving. I will have to cook them at home and heat them hours after I arrive at my friend’s home. Will they still be crunchy if I cook the night before and heat in the oven right before dinner for maybe 10 minutes?
Thank you
Love this recipe. I used french fried onions crushed up instead of bread crumbs. So good.
Made these Green Beans tonight for dinner – OMG – they are so gooood. Definatley will be making them like all the time
Could you use frozen green beans in this recipe?
So glad you liked it! Happy to know you will give it another shot, just with less salt! 🙂
Katie , we’ve made this several times n its sooo good we’ve also mad .it with asparagus n its delicious !
These were really good. I really enjoyed this dish!
I used the same recipe for asparagus and it was fabulous!
Thank you for the versatile recipe!
We love these, and have them at least once a week. They’ve quick and easy to prepare, and delicious.
Is it 400° celsius of farenheit ? Wouldn’t want to mix them up !
We absolutely love these green beans .
Very easy and good. Watch amount of salt added. Parmesan is salty
I added some sliced shiitake mushrooms but otherwise stuck with the recipe as written. My husband, who doesn’t like any green vegetable, actually said they were very good. I think the crunch of the breadcrumbs is a great change from plain roasted green beans. Excellent recipe!! I’ll definitely be making these again and again. Thank you Katie!
What is the calories per serving?
So delicious! Made this as a side for Christmas dinner. It was such a hit, I had to make a second batch!!
So good love to have another way to make my veggies delicious!
Great hit, nailed it
My vegetarian family loved this dish and I’ve made it 3 times in 2 weeks, once with crushed seasoned croutons instead of bread crumbs.
I would have give a hire rating but green beans were not soft enough for me.
My family are not big green bean lovers…but they ate these up! You get the benefit of a vegetable tasting like it was fried…delicious. Thanks for the recipe
This recipe was a nice swap to my usual way to prepare green beans! I used a coarse ground cassava flour as I was out of Panko and the result of great! I used French green beans and the 15 min on the oven were spot on! Thank you
Can you use frozen green beans?
I served this to a large group – not one bean was left – it is delicious and easy.
Good recipe. Nice crunch on the green beans. I gave a 4 which may be on my part with the cooking. The crunch and or were spot on but I felt like green beans needed more time to cook than what I gave them. I will try again and I will also test out this recipe with asparagus.
Love these!! Now, I am not the hugest fan of plain green beans, but add some parmesan cheese & I am sold!!
I totally agree that the panko adds the right touch of crunch. Definitely kid friendly with the cheese!
These are delicious! They make even the pickiest eater want to eat their veggies.
Can I make these a few hours ahead and then reheat
Hi
Thanks for the recipe. It was pretty good however I felt they were a little dry. Is there any solution to this? Maybe i overcooked then a bit? Should I boil them first to add some moisture! Any tips would be helpful! Thank you!
absolutely scrumptious would recommend making this at home for the fam this thanksgiving great side dish goes great with Turkey or just about anything !! Loved this dish and will be making this more in the future
These look so good, curious… you don’t snap ends off??
My kids aren’t huge veggie lovers but they ate every last one of these off the tray! Thank you!!
This was the perfect side dish with dinner tonight! So easy and flavorful too; excited to make these again for Thanksgiving!
Love this dish! I made it with chicken the other night, and it was a great addition.
Love eating green beans this way!! The parmesan adds great flavor. My kids will even eat them like this!
My family loves roasted veggies! These green beans are delicious!
Thanks for sharing! Do they reheat well?
This looks so good! What a great way to spice up a side of green beans!
Made this tonight with lemon pepper salmon and it was awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!
Can you tell me me what roast means? Is that 400 degrees? Or broiler ?
Yes! Just “roast”/bake it in the preheated 400 degree oven 🙂 and yes, Roast typically means to “bake” something at a higher temperature 400 degrees or higher. Broil is using the direct heat above your food in the oven and usually is 500 degrees or higher and for short periods of time.
Can I blanch them first and then roast for a shorter time?
Sounds delicious! Can you convert this for an Air Fryer?
I would love to make these for my son’s rehearsal dinner in November, but I doubt I’ll find fresh green beans that late. Do you think it could work with canned green beans?
Unfortunately I don’t think canned beans will work. They will have too much moisture in them for them to actually “roast.” My local Walmart and grocery stores carry fresh green beans that you can measure and weigh yourself and also in pre-packaged bags ( near the pre-packaged salad mixes) all year round. So hopefully you will still be able to find what you need without any issues. 🙂
This recipe works with frozen whole green beans very well! I put this green bean recipe, whole chicken breasts with seasoning, and quartered new potatoes on a roasting pan, and cook, a complete meal on 1 pan!
This was absolutely delicious!! My new go to recipe for green beans!
So glad you liked it!! 🙂
What a delicious and easy side dish! Can’t wait to make this with dinner tonight; it’s perfect!
This green bean recipe is AMAZING!
This is the only way to get my kids to eat green beans!
Great
Easy and healthy
Excellent. Need to eat immediately though
Do I need to snap off the ends of the beans or just wash them & prepare as noted?
That is all personal preference. I tend to cut of the stem area as they are sometime tougher than the rest of the bean 🙂
can this be made with canned green beans? or only fresh… just curious if you have tried. Looks amazing!!
Hi Liz! I’m not sure if canned beans would work or not since they hold so much more moisture. I don’t think the beans and cheese would get that nice golden crisp to them. I have only ever tried this recipe with fresh beans 🙂
Any need to blanch the beans first?
Definitely trying this way to make green beans 🙂 Maybe we will have this on Easter with our ham. My kids are not too picky, my older one thinks she doesn’t like a few things but eats them until she knows it’s in there.
I used this recipe but made it with asparagus!! Very good
I was looking for a different way to prepare fresh green beans & thought I’d try this recipe. Not only was it surprisingly simple to prepare but it was delicious. I had some fresh asparagus spears left & decided to add them as well. I plan on making these again soon!
A family favorite
These green beans are so tasty and look so easy!
So easy to follow and DELISH!
What a perfect side dish for the holidays!
These went perfect with our meatloaf. So much flavor and easy to make too!
So good and such an easy recipe to follow. My family loved this.
