Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)

Fresh lemon juice (from ½ lemon)

Zest of 1 lemon

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Green Beans: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper until fully coated.

      Combine Toppings: In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.

        Assemble on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the beans have enough space between them for optimal crispiness.

          Add Cheese Mixture: Sprinkle the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the green beans, ensuring that each one is coated well.

            Roast to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Shake the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.

              Finish with Citrus: Once out of the oven, immediately drizzle the green beans with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest for a bright flavor boost.

                Garnish and Serve: Transfer the crispy garlic Parmesan green beans to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
