Ingredients

1 tbsp Avocado oil or olive oil
3/4 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 lb green beans fresh, trimmed
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese I use the fresh kind from the refrigerated section of the market.
½ tsp Onion Powder
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Dried Parsley
1 tbsp Butter melted, unsalted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Rinse, dry and trim the ends off of the green beans.
Add the green beans in a single layer to a parchment-lined baking sheet
Sprinkle oil, salt and black pepper on the green beans.
Use tongs to evenly coat the green beans with the oil, salt, and pepper.
Bake for 12 minutes
Add the parmesan and spices to a small bowl
Mix the parmesan and spices together
Sprinkle it evenly on top of the green beans. Drizzle the melted butter over the top
Return the baking sheet to the oven to bake for 4-7 more minutes

Notes

Dry the green beans well: Wet beans will steam more than roast.
Give them room on the pan: A single layer helps them brown better.
Use fresh green beans for the best texture: They hold up better than frozen in this kind of recipe.
Add the parmesan later: This keeps the cheese from browning too fast before the beans are ready.
Watch the final few minutes closely: Parmesan can go from golden to too dark pretty quickly.
Adjust for the size of your green beans: Thin beans may cook faster, while thicker ones may need a little more time.
