It’s a quick, flavorful addition to any meal—perfect for holidays or everyday dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or minced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Spread green beans on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Roast for 18–20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and slightly blistered.
  4. While beans roast, toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  5. Transfer roasted green beans to a serving platter. Top with lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  6. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute pine nuts with slivered almonds or chopped walnuts if desired.
  • Add red pepper flakes before roasting for a hint of heat.
  • Use a vegan Parmesan or omit cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving for extra depth.
  • To reheat, use the oven for best texture retention.
