Crunchy parmesan asparagus and beans

Crunchy Parmesan Asparagus and Beans is a delightful and easy-to-make side dish that combines fresh asparagus and green beans with a crispy, cheesy bread crumb topping. This recipe is perfect for adding a nutritious and flavorful component to any meal.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
3/4 lb asparagus
340g
1 cup green beans
230g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
44g
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
27g
1 tsp black pepper
2g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and trim the asparagus and green beans. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces for uniformity in cooking if desired.
3. Toss with Olive Oil: In a large bowl, combine the asparagus and green beans. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to ensure they are evenly coated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
5. Coat the Vegetables: Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the oiled vegetables. Toss the vegetables lightly to ensure they are well coated with the crumb mixture.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they have enough space to roast evenly.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the asparagus and green beans are tender and the bread crumbs are golden and crunchy. Stir halfway through the cooking time to promote even roasting.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the crispness of the parmesan coating and the tender vegetables.

Tips:

- Select fresh, firm asparagus and green beans for the best results. Look for bright green colors and avoid any that are limp or discolored.

- To ensure even cooking, trim the tough ends of the asparagus and cut the green beans to similar lengths as the asparagus.

- Mix the bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese in advance and store in an airtight container. This will make the assembly process quicker and more efficient when you're ready to cook.

- For an extra crunch, you can toast the bread crumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown before mixing with parmesan cheese.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture.

This Crunchy Parmesan Asparagus and Beans recipe is a simple yet delicious way to enjoy your veggies. The crispy topping adds a delightful texture and the parmesan cheese brings a savory depth of flavor. Serve it alongside your favorite main dish or enjoy it on its own for a light, satisfying meal.
