Super crispy Roasted Parmesan Green Beans, topped with dried cranberries, walnuts and shredded parmesan cheese. This is definitely the easiest recipe to make a delicious and flavourful veggie side dish!
I was planning to make an easy and very quick veggie side dish to eat with my quick and easy broiled salmon recipe for dinner and theese crispy roasted green beans, garlic parmesan cauliflower rice recipe, parmesan lemon asparagus skillet and roasted green beans with garlic panko recipes crossed my mind. But, since I was craving to eat something a little sweet but at the same time salty I thought I could create a green beans recipe with parmesan cheese and cranberries. At first I didn’t think it was going to taste good. However, the combination of sweet and salty flavors was just right.
For this recipe, the most important step is to place your jellyroll pan in the oven for 10 minutes before you add the seasoned green beans. Why? Because you will avoid having soggy roasted green beans. This is the secret to make these green beans very crispy and also flavorful. I have a great photo tutorial about how to make crispy green beans that you can check out. Meanwhile, you can season your green beans and when the jellyroll pan is ready, you just place the seasoning green beans and bake for about 10 minutes. When it is done baking just place cranberries and walnuts to sweeten the flavor and add extra crunchy texture. Notice that I added a little bit of salt in this recipe, but I ask you to not use a lot, because the parmesan cheese is already salty. If you are trying to reduce the amount of salt on your diet, I suggest you don’t add salt and use only parmesan cheese. In the mood for more beans? Try this Quick Easy Bean Salad!
This is definitely a delicious veggie side dish that goes along not only with salmon, but with chicken and meat too. Try this Sweet Potato Green Beans Shrimp Skillet or Ground Beef Veggie Skillet Recipe! You also can have it with rice or quinoa salads for a vegetarian option. Enjoy!

Roasted Parmesan Green Beans
Ingredients
- 2 pounds green beans trimmed
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- salt and ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup cranberries
- 2 tbsp chopped walnut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Place a jellyroll pan in oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim off the tough end of the beans.
- In a medium bowl, place green beans, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
- Mix well everything together.
- Arrange green bean mixture in a single layer on preheated baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the beans.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.
- When it is time to serve, you just need to transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and top with cranberries and chopped walnut.
Tips
- You can quickly trim the green beans by lining them up on a cutting board and cutting the tops and bottoms off all together.
- Careful to place them in a single layer as the beans can steam if they're stacked.
- Always wash the beans beforehand and pat them dry with a paper towel so the oil and seasoning will stick better to them.
- To store: You can store roasted parmesan green beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: Reheat the green beans in the microwave, oven, or stovetop.
- To freeze: You can freeze cooked green beans in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.

Lady W says
All these green bean recipes look delicious. I have a question regarding the roasted parmesan green beans. The picture shown looks like the parmesan was added after baking with the cranberries and walnuts. It does not look melted or browned as it would if it were baked in the oven. Can you confirm is we are to add the parmesan prior to baking or add it after to keep it fresh and crumbly. Either way sounds yummy but I want to be sure I try your recipe correctly for the first time.

Hi, Lady!
I actually added parmesan before baking it and after removing it from the oven just to add extra texture 😉
Lorraine says
This looks pretty tasty. I’m thinking I’ll try it worth either feta or goat cheese though, probably adding the cheese After it comes out of the oven.
Olivia says
Yes, that’s a good idea! I think it would be delicious with goat cheese!
