Lemony Roasted Green Beans with Parmesan and Pine Nuts

This recipe transforms simple green beans into a vibrant and flavorful side dish. The beans are tossed with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and lemon zest, which infuses them with brightness and depth before roasting in the oven until tender with lightly crisped edges.

Toasted pine nuts add a warm, nutty crunch, while a sprinkling of Parmigiano-Reggiano brings a rich, savory finish. A touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice ties it all together with a refreshing lift, and crushed red pepper flakes provide just the right amount of gentle heat.

The result is a colorful, crowd-pleasing dish that’s both elegant and easy, perfect for weeknight dinners yet special enough for a holiday table.
