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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
Step 5
Stir in garlic powder, pepper, salt, and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.
Step 6
In a lightly greased baking dish, spread the green beans evenly. Pour the creamy sauce over the green beans, ensuring they are completely coated.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the green beans and sauce.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Green Beans Parmesan!
