Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking constantly, to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
Stir in garlic powder, pepper, salt, and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.
In a lightly greased baking dish, spread the green beans evenly. Pour the creamy sauce over the green beans, ensuring they are completely coated.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese with the panko breadcrumbs. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the green beans and sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Green Beans Parmesan!
