I wasn’t going to post this recipe for these fresh roasted green beans because I thought they were just “ok” (not as good as the roasted broccoli) but my husband thinks they’re fabulous!  If you’re a green bean lover then you will definitely like this recipe.

I did love the taste the parmesan, garlic and red pepper flakes gives.  Next time I think I’ll sprinkle on a little minced onions when they come out of the oven. Overall it was a great side dish to pair up with the man-pleasing meatloaf I made. Even Isaac liked these roasted green beans, minus the parmesan and red pepper.

I’ve been trying to come up with new side dishes since it seems I’m starting to get in a rut of searching the same sides. I’ll definitely be making these fresh roasted green beans more often. They make a really pretty presentation and I bet they would taste amazing with some roasted cornish hens.

 Watch me make these fresh roasted green beans from start to finish!

Notes

~TIPS~
Go light on the salt if you'll be using parmesan cheese.
These roasted green beans still have a bit of a raw bite when fully cooked so be sure not to overcook them.
Use fresh green beans.
Feel free to jazz up this dish with diced tomatoes and onions and/or other seasoning.
