Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

6 cloves garlic, minced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a bit of heat)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

        Season the Beans: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with the melted garlic butter mixture, sea salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss everything together until the beans are well coated.

          Roast the Beans: Spread the seasoned green beans evenly on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they have enough space to roast properly.

            Bake in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and have crispy edges.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the green beans from the oven. Transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve your roasted garlic butter green beans hot as a delightful side dish to any main course!
