Ingredients
- Fresh Green Beans: 1 pound, trimmed
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
- Minced Garlic: 3 cloves
- Parmesan Cheese: 1/3 cup, finely grated
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Assemble the Dish: Ensure garlic bits are evenly distributed and not sitting on the baking sheet directly to prevent burning.

Notes
- Make sure beans are dry to ensure crisp roasting.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for best melting and flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
