Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
- 4-6 garlic cloves pressed
- 1 pound fresh green beans washed and trimmed
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

For garnish:

Instructions
- If using fresh beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Pre-cook 1 pound fresh green beans for 2 minutes, then soak them in ice-cold water. Drain very well, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- If using frozen beans, place them in a microwave-safe container. Add ¼ cup of water and cover with a (microwave-safe) lid. Microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the green beans are thawed.
- Remove from the microwave. The beans should be thawed but not hot. Drain very well, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F and line an extra-large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add in the beans.
- Pour the 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil over the beans, add the 4-6 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, Kosher salt and ground pepper, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and toss well to combine; Arrange in a single layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are crisp-tender.
- Garnish with freshly chopped Fresh parsley and serve with Lemon wedges.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 5 days
- I do not recommend freezing leftovers
- You may use fresh-cut green beans or frozen fresh green beans.
- Better to use fresh garlic than garlic powder
- Any oil of choice would work
