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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems or rough edges. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel to ensure crisp roasting.
Step 3
Place the green beans in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat them evenly.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Optional: If desired, sprinkle the roasted green beans with grated Parmesan cheese right out of the oven for a savory finish.
Step 8
Serve the roasted green beans warm as a side dish, and enjoy their bright, fresh flavors!
