Roasted parmesan green beans are an addictive side to any 20 minute meal (or less!) They only take about 10 minutes in the oven and it’s a clean recipe. YAY! I love those.
I’ve gotten into studying up on my quick weeknight meals type of recipes. I could spend however much time on dinner and make it as fancy as I wanted but, these days (thanks to my little baby), if I start a recipe like that there’s no guarantee I can finish it, or at least not without help.
Since Baby Cold Texan joined us, I have been determined to drop the pregnancy weight ASAP and get back to a proper clean eating regimen. I did my best during pregnancy but, those darn hormones foiled my plans with dreams of giant, dancing BLTS (not kidding, I really did have that dream).
On another note, since becoming a new mom, I have loved roasting as my favored style of cooking for the ease of prepping a pan and in the oven it goes until the timer goes off. In the mean time, I can pick my baby up and snuggle her or whatever she needs, and everything comes out fabulously. Even the baby loves her roasted veggies!
I always get excited when the stores have haricot vert style green beans on sale. They’re so yummy. However, any kind of green beans will work with this. Green beans, I feel, go with any kind of meat. I don’t feel that way about most veggies….maybe I just love green beans that much.
The only problem with this dish is, I like it so much that I want to go back for seconds and then I end up eating too much. Is eating too many green beans a thing? Self control. Where can I get some of that?

I love to pair these green beans with Parmesan Crusted Chicken – many of the same ingredients, same cooking temperature. Easy, nutritious, weeknight meal.
Add this recipe to your weekly meal rotation. Your tastebuds will be so excited. Enjoy!!
