Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 1½ lbs green beans
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 6 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Lemon (optional, for squeezing over the top)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
- Trim both ends of the green beans and place them in a large bowl.
- Add the avocado oil, minced garlic, grated parmesan, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated.
- Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. It’s okay if some beans overlap.
- Roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes, checking around 10 minutes to ensure they don’t overcook.
- Once they are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Optionally, squeeze a little lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- If using frozen green beans, no thawing is needed. Just toss them with the seasonings and roast as instructed.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- If fresh parmesan is unavailable, Pecorino Romano or Asiago make great substitutes.
- Make sure to check the green beans at 10-12 minutes to avoid over-roasting, as ovens vary.
