Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the green beans evenly.
- Prepare Green Beans: Place the trimmed green beans into a lightly greased 9x13x2-inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly to allow for uniform cooking.
- Add Toppings: Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the green beans. Then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika on top to distribute the flavors well.
- Bake: Bake the green beans uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the green beans are tender and the cheese topping is lightly browned and bubbly.
Notes
- You can adjust the garlic powder and paprika amounts to suit your taste preferences.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute regular mayonnaise with light or vegan mayonnaise.
- Fresh green beans work best, but you can use frozen green beans; just thaw and pat dry before using.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as the mayonnaise topping may cool and thicken if left to sit.
