Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed

Seasoning & Toppings

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan, freshly grated (parmigiano-reggiano recommended)
  • 1/2 a lemon, juiced
  • 12 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (to garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Toss Green Beans: Place the trimmed green beans on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, and sprinkle salt and pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat the beans evenly.
  3. Add Parmesan: Spread the green beans into an even layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan evenly over the top for a cheesy crust once roasted.
  4. Roast Beans: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes. Roast until the green beans are lightly browned, the cheese is melted and slightly crispy, and the beans are fork-tender yet still maintain a satisfying crunch.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the roasted green beans from the oven. Immediately drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot for best flavor.

Notes

  • Trim green beans by snapping off the ends before cooking for a tidy presentation.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese to achieve the best melting and flavor.
  • Ensure not to overcook the beans; they should retain a slight crunch for texture.
  • Feel free to add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
