1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 teaspoon lemon zest or juice (optional)

Instructions

1. Rinse green beans thoroughly and pat completely dry. Trim the ends.

2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

4. Add green beans and toss to coat.

5. Sprinkle with Parmesan and breadcrumbs, then toss again.

6. Spread beans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Roast for 18–22 minutes until crispy and golden.

Dry the green beans thoroughly to avoid steaming instead of roasting.

Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed.

Use fresh grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melt.
