How to make Cheesy Crispy Baked Green Beans – step by step
- Heat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with foil. Place the pan in the oven on the middle rack while the oven preheats.
- To blanch the green beans so they will keep their vibrant color, soften their tough exterior and help with moisture retention, fill a large saucepan with 3 quarts water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring the salted water to a rolling boil. While the water boils, prepare a medium bowl with ice water and set the bowl on the counter near the saucepan. Place the green beans in the salted water and cook 1½ minutes. Immediately, use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans to the ice water and leave them submerged 5 minutes. Drain the beans, and pour them onto a paper towel-lined platter. Use paper towels or a clean dishcloth to gently dry the beans.
- In a large bowl, mix together green beans, olive oil, 1-teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Remove the heated pan from the oven and turn the beans out onto the hot pan. Cook the bean 5 minutes.
- While the beans cook, melt the butter in the microwave and add the garlic; mix well.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the breadcrumbs, garlic butter, cheddar, jalapeno and Parmesan cheeses.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the breadcrumb/cheese mixture over the beans.
- Turn the oven to broil and place the pan back on the middle rack. Broil the beans until the cheese is melted and begins to brown and gets crispy. Watch closely – breadcrumbs and cheese can burn easily.
- Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the beans to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately and…
- Enjoy!

Cheesy Roasted Green Beans!
I love that these delicious cheese loaded green beans come together in so quickly and easily! They are best served straight out of the oven, so make these just before you are ready to serve. I used a jalapeno pepper cheese for an added little kick, but you can use straight up pepper jack if you prefer.
Healthy green beans
Green beans are a great veggie to feed your family with a tonne of health benefits. There isn’t a tonne of cheese on these beans, and if it helps the kids eat their greens it can only be a good thing! Green beans are super high in fiber and they are a great source of vitamins A, C, K B6 and folic acid, as well as calcium and iron. Oh, and did I say they were delicious too?!
Top tips for making Cheesy Crispy Baked Green Beans
- Use the freshest green beans you can lay your hands on for the tastiest side dish.
- Be sure to blanche the beans, this will help them to keep their vibrant color.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
