Step 2

Season them with salt and red pepper flakes, give them a good mix, then sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan until almost covered or as much as you like, and place the baking dish or skillet in the preheated oven.

Step 3

Allow the green beans to bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the beans are tender and the cheese has melted. If desired, you can also broil it until the cheese is nice and brown, then garnish it with more parmesan, and serve. Enjoy!
