Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a nice char on the green beans.

    Prepare the Green Beans: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Make sure they are evenly coated.

      Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

        Combine and Coat: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the seasoned green beans and toss well until the beans are fully coated in the garlic butter.

          Roasting: Spread the garlic butter-coated green beans evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. This will allow them to roast evenly.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and a little crispy at the edges. Toss them halfway through cooking for even roasting.

              Finishing Touches: Once done, remove the green beans from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. For added flavor and garnish, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

                Serve: Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and enjoy them warm as a delicious side dish!
