- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil and add minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
