Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet.
- Toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice if desired.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top if using and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure green beans are in a single layer to avoid sogginess.
- Add sliced almonds for crunch or chili flakes for heat.
- Roast with balsamic vinegar for deeper flavor.
- Use butter instead of olive oil for a richer taste.
- Reheat in oven or skillet to maintain texture.
