Crispy Parmesan Green Beans: Your New Favorite Snackable Side
Imagine golden, crackly green beans that taste like french fries met Parmesan and decided to live their best life. These oven-baked beauties are crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and completely addictive—perfect for game day, lunch boxes, or “I need something green but make it fun” nights.
The secret? A fluffy blanket of freshly grated Parmesan that sticks to every bean and turns ultra-crispy in the oven. A quick spin with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater gives you perfect Parmesan snow in seconds—no scraped knuckles required.
🥗Ingredients (Serves 4 as a side)
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan (coarse or fine shreds)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika (optional, for color)
Salt & plenty of cracked black pepper
Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
🔥Step-by-Step: Crispy Green Bean Magic
1. Prep the Beans
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Parmesan Shower
Using the hand crank cheese grater, shred fresh Parmesan directly over the beans (or into a bowl first if you like control). Gently press the cheese so it sticks—don’t worry if some falls off; those become bonus crisps!
3. Bake to Crunchy Perfection
Spread beans in a single layer. Bake until the Parmesan is golden and the beans are tender-crisp. Halfway through, give the pan a gentle shake for even browning.
4. Serve Immediately
Pile onto a platter while hot—the contrast of crispy cheese and tender beans is everything. Hit with an extra crack of pepper and a squeeze of lemon if you’re feeling fancy.
✨Tips & Twists
Spicy Version – Add cayenne or chili flakes to the oil.
Herb Boost – Mix dried oregano or Italian seasoning into the Parmesan.

Make-Ahead – Shred Parmesan with Geedel ahead and store in the fridge.
