Instructions
In a mixing bowl, toss the green beans with the oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread them evenly onto a prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
Bake for 15 minutes before stirring them around.
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the beans and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until the parmesan turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool briefly before serving them.
Storing Leftovers

Though you can reheat them in the microwave, they won’t be as delicious as popping them into the oven to warm up.
💬 RECIPE FAQ'S
Tips and Tricks
For the best results in baking them, make sure that they’re spread on the baking sheet in a single layer. Even after you stir them, spread them back out so that they’re not overlapping. This way they are all evenly coated in parmesan too.
Wash and dry your green beans first. Then, in handfuls line up the green beans on a cutting board so that the stems are even. Trim both sides and repeat until all the beans are trimmed.
Typically, when you’re purchasing green beans, the thinner ones will be sweeter and crispier. Know that the thicker ones will be chewier and may need a minute more of cooking time. You do need fresh beans for this recipe so know that frozen beans won't work as they are better suited to sauteing in a large skillet.
Though olive oil will work and is great for sauteing, avocado oil is listed because it has a higher heat point and is best used for baking at higher temperatures.
Flavor Variations
Below are a few ingredients you can add to the low-carb parmesan green beans to make them seem new each time you make them.
Crunch: Tossing in slivered almonds, pistachios, or chopped pecans is a fun way to change the texture.
Extra veggies: You could bake the green beans with cherry tomatoes for a pop of color or sprinkle some leeks on top to serve them.
Spice: If you like some heat in your dish, using some red pepper flakes or hot sauce on the beans gives them a spicy, great flavor.
Fresh burst: For the warmer months, adding some lemon zest to the crispy green beans right before you serve them is a great way to give a pop of sunshine flavor.
