These garlic roasted green beans are a vibrant and flavorful side dish, perfect for enhancing any meal.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Green beans
1 pound, trimmed
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Lemon zest (optional)
1 teaspoon
Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the ends of the green beans and place them on a large baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. If desired, add lemon zest for an extra zing.
  4. Drizzle the garlic-oil mixture over the green beans, then toss until they are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and slightly browned, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  7. If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a savory finish.
  8. Serve hot as a delicious side dish, garnished with additional lemon zest or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
