For best results, use fresh, crisp green beans. Avoid overcooking the beans under the broiler, as they will become mushy. If you don't have a broiler, you can roast the green beans in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for added tang. For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with nutritional yeast.

Jul 18, 2024I never liked green beans until I tried this recipe. The broiling method makes them so much better than boiling or steaming.
