Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Lemon, for serving
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the center.
- Add the green beans to a large baking sheet, then drizzle them with the olive oil and toss to combine. Sprinkle on the garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, then toss until combined. Arrange them in an even layer, then roast until tender and charred slightly, 15 to 20 minutes, tossing them once halfway through.
- Remove the beans from the oven then zest the lemon on top. Halve the lemon and squeeze juice on top, then toss and serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes

Topping ideas: Try topping your roasted green beans with any of the following for extra flavor and texture (add these once they come out of the oven):
- Toasted almonds or pine nuts
- Candied pecans
- Finely chopped fresh herbs (like basil, parsley or chives)
- A drizzle of sesame oil and/or a sprinkle of sesame seeds
- A pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat
- Crispy chopped bacon
- A drizzle of balsamic glaze
- To store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: Reheat in a 400°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes or in an air fryer until warmed through and lightly crisp again.
- What to serve with: These roasted green beans pair perfectly with Baked Ham, Beef Teriyaki Bowls, Prime Rib, and hearty pasta dishes like Chicken Tortellini Alfredo and Stuffed Shells. They’re also a great addition to holiday meals alongside roast turkey and creamy mashed potatoes.
