I love super easy side dishes and these Roasted Parmesan Green Beans are just that! Aside from the green beans, you most likely have all of the ingredients needed for this recipe – parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper - making this 100% stress-free.

[Am I the only one that stresses about side dishes? They're so hard to decide!]

Another fabulous thing about these green beans is that they’re perfect for ANY season. They fit perfectly with roasts in the cold months and BBQs in the summer (<consider serving them cold!).

This is one of those simple recipes that doesn’t need much fussing. You’ll love the roasted flavors tossed with parmesan cheese. Plus, they’re skinny and diet-friendly!
