Dry green beans well and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with olive oil (use your hands), so that all the beans are coated. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil. Toss again to coat.
Roast for 10 minutes, toss, and continue to roast for 5 more minutes. Immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

Notes
If you prefer, use fresh basil instead of dried. Add finely minced basil leaves after the beans are roasted.
Other types of oil can be substituted for the olive oil.
Yellow wax beans are great, too. A mixture of green beans and yellow beans is really attractive.
