Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems or rough edges. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel to ensure crisp roasting.
Place the green beans in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat them evenly.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with the kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir them halfway through cooking for even browning.
Optional: If desired, sprinkle the roasted green beans with grated Parmesan cheese right out of the oven for a savory finish.
Serve the roasted green beans warm as a side dish, and enjoy their bright, fresh flavors!
