Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it's ready for the crispy baking magic.

    Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Aim to keep them as uniform in length as possible for even cooking results.

      Season the Beans: In a large mixing bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Mix thoroughly to ensure every bean is well-coated in the flavorful mixture.

        Coat with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned green beans and toss again until the cheese is evenly distributed, giving the beans a delightful cheesy coating.

          Bake the Green Beans: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the seasoned green beans in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the beans are crispy and have turned a lovely golden brown color.

            Finish with Lemon: Once baked to perfection, remove the green beans from the oven. Immediately drizzle them with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest on top to elevate the dish with an aromatic burst of flavor.

              Garnish and Serve: Carefully transfer the crispy garlic Parmesan green beans to a serving dish. Garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm as a delightful side dish that’s sure to impress!
