Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred, stirring halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest. Toss gently to coat.
Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your low-carb perfectly roasted green beans!
