Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it nice and hot for roasting.

    Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and remove the ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

      Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the trimmed green beans to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.

          Roast the Green Beans: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and starting to caramelize, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

            Add Parmesan: Once the green beans are roasted, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot green beans. Return them to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Finishing Touches: Remove the green beans from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright flavor. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.

                Serve: Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and enjoy them warm as a delightful side dish at your next meal!
