Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1.5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.33 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp lemon zest optional
  • 0.13 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment.
  • Dry the green beans well with towels so they roast, not steam.
  • Toss beans with olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread in a single layer on the pan. Roast 12 minutes, stirring once halfway.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan over the beans. Toss lightly, then roast 4 to 6 minutes until golden and tender-crisp.
  • Finish with lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra crunch, toss 2 tbsp panko with 1 tsp olive oil and add with the Parmesan. Leftovers keep in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat on a hot sheet pan to revive crisp edges.
