Some people might call this recipe for oven baked green beans with parmesan cheese a side dish, but I can totally call it a meal. Light, crunchy and full of flavor from the freshly shredded parmesan cheese. If you don’t like parmesan, you can totally skip it. These green beans are perfect for all veggie lovers out there. Add some Chinese noodles like Mein Noodles and you can turn this dish into a vegan one. I really enjoy the texture of the lightly oven baked green beans, although they taste pretty good steamed or boiled, too.
