Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal roasting.

    Prepare the Green Beans: Wash and trim the green beans, ensuring to remove the tough ends.

      Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn the garlic.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with the melted garlic butter mixture, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.

          Roast the Green Beans: Spread the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender with slightly crispy edges.

            Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious side dish and enjoy the rich flavors of garlic and butter combined with the green beans!
