Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help in achieving perfectly roasted green beans.

    Prepare the Baking Tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up and to help the green beans roast evenly.

      Mix the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed green beans. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the beans and toss until they are well coated.

          Spread out on Baking Tray: Transfer the coated green beans to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crispy, tossing halfway through for even roasting.

              Add Cheese (Optional): If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the beans during the last 5 minutes of roasting to allow it to melt and form a delicious crust.

                Serve: Once roasted, remove the green beans from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Roasted Green Beans!
