3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed green beans, minced garlic, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well to ensure that all the beans are evenly coated.

Spread the green bean mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

Once done, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using), lemon zest, and lemon juice.
