Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

      Create Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, butter, olive oil, sea salt, cracked black pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.

        Coat the Green Beans: Place the green beans in a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the green beans and toss until they are evenly coated.

          Roast the Green Beans: Spread the coated green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the beans are not overcrowded for even roasting.

            Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even cooking.

              Add Cheese (optional): If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the green beans during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
