# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
02 -
2 tablespoons good olive oil
03 -
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
04 -
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
05 -
1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
06 -
Juice from half a lemon
07 -
1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 -
Spread the trimmed green beans on your prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss everything together so the beans are evenly coated, then spread them out in a single layer.
03 -
Sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan all over the green beans, making sure they're evenly covered with that delicious cheese.
04 -
Pop the baking sheet in the oven for about 20 minutes. You're looking for the beans to get slightly browned with the cheese melted and just starting to crisp up. The perfect texture is fork-tender but still with a nice bite to them!
05 -
Take the beans out of the oven and immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Scatter the chopped parsley on top and taste - add a bit more salt and pepper if needed. Serve them while they're hot and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
These green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 40 seconds or warm them up in the oven.
02 -
For a vegan version, skip the parmesan cheese and try sprinkling with nutritional yeast or your favorite dairy-free parmesan alternative after roasting, or simply enjoy them without cheese.
