Roasted Green Beans with Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients:

• 1 hefty handful fresh Green Beans, trimmed
• 1/4 tsp-1 tsp Garlic Powder, depending on your garlic preference(we LOVE garlic)
• sprinkle of Garlic Salt (If you have it.  We love Lawry's Garlic Salt)
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 Tbls-2 Tbls Olive Oil
• 2 Tbls Parmesan Cheese, shredded(I used pre shredded of course :))

Trim off ends of green beans.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Spread green beans out on foil in one layer.  Try not to let the green beans overlap.  Sprinkle with garlic powder, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. 

Drizzle olive oil over beans.  Toss to evenly coat.

Place in oven, and bake 10 minutes.  Remove from oven and roll beans to evenly brown.  Return to oven and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly wilted.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over green beans and maow.  These will be a perfect tender crisp. AMAZING.

I found the base for this recipe on Skinny Taste

she is pretty much amazing.
