Prepare The Fresh Green Beans
Snap or cut the stem end off of the fresh green beans, then give them a quick rinse before cooking them. I was grateful to be able pick these green beans from our raised bed garden in our backyard!
Blanch Beans For Tenderness
It is okay to avoid this step (and go straight to the next one), but I have found it makes the finished green beans more tender to the bite once the entire recipe is done! I recommend this step, but of course, it is your decision!
Place the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl, and add 1 cup of water to the bowl. Microwave the green beans on High power for 3 minutes.
While the beans cook, place water and ice cubes in a separate bowl (large enough to hold the green beans). The water will need to be icy cold as soon as the beans are done.
Immediately after the beans finish microwaving, plunge them into the ice water (water and cubes) in a separate bowl. The ice water helps “shock” the beans to quickly stop the cooking process (and preserves their color). Let them soak for a minute.
Add The Butter And Spices
Drain the green beans well, pat them dry (as much as possible), then place them in a large bowl. Add soft butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. TIP: Pinch the soft butter into small pieces!
Gently stir to combine all these ingredients as much as possible. The soft butter will remain a bit “clumpy”, but try to distribute the small pieces throughout the mixture.
Bake The Parmesan Garlic Green Beans
Spread the green beans out on a large baking sheet, making sure the butter “clumps” and spices are evenly distributed. Bake the Parmesan garlic green beans at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, turning them over halfway through the baking time.
TIP: I have found the green beans are typically done (crisp on the outside-tender inside) after 15 minutes, so be sure to check yours, because oven temps can vary quite a bit. You don’t want to burn them!
Serve The Parmesan Garlic Green Beans
When done, transfer the green beans (using a spatula) from the baking sheet to a serving platter. Garnish them with chopped, fresh parsley (optional), and serve immediately while they are hot.
The buttery, Parmesan covered, well-seasoned green beans are delicious, and have LOTS of great flavor! Serve them with a favorite main dish and enjoy every bite.
I hope you have the opportunity to make this delicious veggie side dish for those you love, and trust everyone will enjoy these green beans as much as we do.
