Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

In a resealable plastic bag, combine the green beans, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and gently massage to ensure the beans are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes. (Time: 10 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.

03

Step
2 mins

Spread the marinated green beans in a single layer on a shallow baking pan.

04

Step
5 mins

Place the pan under the preheated broiler and cook until the green beans are tender-crisp and slightly blistered, about 5 minutes. (Time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Remove the pan from the broiler and sprinkle the green beans with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

For best results, use fresh, crisp green beans. Avoid overcooking the beans under the broiler, as they will become mushy.
If you don't have a broiler, you can roast the green beans in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for added tang.
For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with nutritional yeast.

    I added some toasted pine nuts for extra crunch and it was a great addition.

    I never liked green beans until I tried this recipe. The broiling method makes them so much better than boiling or steaming.
