Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed green beans. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss until the green beans are well coated.

      Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans and toss gently to combine, ensuring the cheese adheres to the beans.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Place the coated green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet for even cooking.

          Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the green beans are crispy and slightly golden brown.

            Add Lemon: Once out of the oven, drizzle the lemon juice and sprinkle lemon zest over the hot green beans. Toss gently to combine and enhance flavors.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the green beans to a serving platter, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
