You’ll love how these are crispy yet juicy, savoury and salty…. but the crowning glory is how the topping ends up like crunchy parmesan wafers!!!
SUPER SPEEDY ROASTED GREEN BEANS
These roasted green beans are so speedy to prepare and so darn tasty, you’ll be picking at them straight off the pan! This is how this recipe goes down:
Trim the ends of the green beans (see video for the way I do this); Pile on tray drizzle with oil, scatter with garlic, salt & pepper, toss; Line up on tray, squishing together. Sprinkle over breadcrumbs (panko is best!), parmesan, drizzle with oil, then roast 15 minutes or broil/grill for 8 minutes.
Yes it really is that quick!
THOSE PARMESAN WAFERS!
What you end up with is the ordinary made extraordinary. Unassuming green beans cooked to tender crisp (I don’t like mine floppy and soft) with a touch of caramelisation on the edges and crunchy parmesan / breadcrumb bits stuck all over the beans. And every now and then, you will strike gold in the form of parmesan wafers. Assuming someone hasn’t picked them all off the tray…
This is one of my golden nugget veggie recipes. I haven’t been holding onto it out of selfishness. It’s simply because it’s so speedy, it almost feels lazy to be posting this as a recipe! But having recently prepared a Thanksgiving Recipes Index and realising how depressingly lacking my vegetable sides recipe collection is, I decided it was about time I started to share some of my everyday favourites. And these Parmesan Roasted Green Beans are right at the top of the list. I make this frequently. With Green Beans, asparagus and broccolini, as well as carrots cut into batons. Basically, anything of similar shape – or cut to this sort of shape where you can line them up next to each other. As for what to serve these with? Basically anything that’s non-Asian. Or have these as a meal in their own right. That’s what I’ve been doing lately! ~ Nagi x
