Top Tip

You can also use avocado oil with this recipe if that's what you have. Be sure to finely grate the parmesan cheese so it melts easily on the green beans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen green beans instead of fresh for this recipe?

Fresh green beans are strongly recommended for this recipe as they roast up with the best texture and those beautiful crispy edges that make this dish so good. Frozen green beans tend to release too much moisture in the oven which can make them steam rather than roast, resulting in a softer and less flavorful result. Fresh green beans will give you the best outcome every time.

How do I keep my roasted green beans from getting soggy?

The key to perfectly crispy oven roasted green beans is making sure they are completely dry before they go on the baking sheet. Pat them thoroughly with a paper towel after washing.

Can I make these Parmesan Roasted Green Beans ahead of time?

These green beans are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the parmesan crust is at its crispiest and most delicious. If you do need to make them ahead you can prep and trim the green beans in advance and store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to roast. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in the oven or air fryer to bring back some of that crispiness.

Instructions

Pour the jam into a jar and cool completely. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Ingredients

Instructions

Grease your bread pan with coconut oil or butter. Set aside.

In the microwave or on the stovetop heat your milk just until it's warm to the touch. You don't want it too hot! Also melt the butter on the stovetop or in the microwave.

In the bowl of your stand mixer add the sourdough starter, melted butter, honey and warm milk. Blend together.

Add the potato starch or tapioca starch, gluten free flour, baking powder, salt, shredded parmesan cheese, shredded gouda cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Blend just until ingredients begin to mix together. Remove from the stand mixer and gently fold any ingredients left on the bottom of the bowl into the mixture with a spatula.

The dough will be very sticky. You don't want to knead or overwork the dough. This sticky texture will let the bread rise nicely.

Spoon the dough into your greased bread pan. Cover the bread pan with a plate or platter and let it rest in a warm area for 6-8 hours. I like to mix my dough up at night before I go to bed and let it proof overnight and then bake in the morning.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Bake the bread for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. The top will be very lightly browned and the sides will be a little darker brown. This is a light bread and will not get really brown on top.

Let the bread stand in the pan for at least 10 minutes to cool before you turn it out onto a plate or platter to finish cooling.

Once the bread has completely cooled slice it into pieces and store it in a sealed container.

Depending on how warm your house is it will last on the counter for 3-4 days. If you aren't going to use it in that amount of time place it in the fridge where it should last 5-7 days.

Top Tip

I liked to finely grate the parmesan cheese and then coarsely grate the gouda and cheddar. You could also use cheese that is already shredded. You could also use whatever block cheese you have in your fridge. Just use the same total measurement. For example, if you only have cheddar cheese then use 2 cups of it coarsely grated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make cheesy sourdough bread with gluten free sourdough starter?

Yes, this recipe is made using a gluten free sourdough starter, making it a great option for anyone following a gluten free diet while still enjoying classic sourdough flavor.

How should gluten free cheesy sourdough bread be stored?

Store the bread fully cooled in an airtight container at room temperature for short term storage of 3-4 days. You can also slice and freeze it to maintain freshness longer.
