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

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet.
  2. Toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
  5. Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice if desired.
  6. 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.
