Parmesan Roasted Green (or Wax) Beans

adapted from https://www.recipetineats.com/parmesan-roasted-green-beans/

  • 1  lb Green or Wax Beans, ends trimmed                 

  • 2 Tbs Olive Oil                   

  • 2-3 Garlic Scapes,  finely chopped            

  • Salt and Pepper to taste                 

  • 1/3 C Panko Breadcrumbs  (optional)                       

  • 1/3 C Grated Parmesan

 

Preheat oven to 220C/425F OR the broiler/grill on high with the shelf about 30cm/12" from the heat source. Pile beans on a tray. Drizzle with 1 Tbs of the Oil, Garlic Scapes, salt and pepper. Toss. Line up on the tray, pushing the beans next to each other (I do 2 rows). Sprinkle with breadcrumbs then parmesan. Drizzle with remaining oil. Roast for 15 minutes or broil/grill for 8 minutes until the parmesan is golden. Use a spatula to transfer beans to serving platter. Serve immediately – I dare you not to eat them all.
