Cheesy Garlic Green Beans Recipe
Make the ultimate cheesy garlic green beans with tender green beans, melted Parmesan and mozzarella, and a flavorful garlic butter sauce. Perfect for dinner sides or holiday meals!
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get ready for baking your cheesy garlic green beans.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Drain and immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Toss the blanched green beans in the garlic butter. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning. Transfer to a baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese evenly over the green beans for that irresistible cheesy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Serve hot with optional lemon wedges for a bright, fresh flavor. Perfect as a side for dinner, holiday meals, or family gatherings!
