§  Prep Time: 10 minutes

§  Cook Time: 15 minutes

§  Total Time: 25 minutes

§  Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

§  2 pounds green beans, trimmed

§  1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons light olive oil (or any other high smoke point cooking oil), divided

§  Salt and pepper, to taste

§  1 large clove garlic, minced

§  3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

§  Zest from 1 lemon

§  1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

§  1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1.       Preheat oven to 400ºF. Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.

2.       In a large bowl, toss the green beans with a tablespoon of oil and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Once the oven has finished heating up, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the beans onto it. Roast for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until the beans are tender, but still crisp.

3.       While the beans are cooking, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the panko and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until it’s toasted and golden brown in color. Transfer to a small bowl and let it cool slightly, then toss the panko with the parmesan cheese and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper to taste.

4.       Transfer the green beans to a serving platter and drizzle them with fresh lemon juice. Top the beans with the panko mixture and serve immediately.
