A crispy, flavorful green bean side dish with a buttery, savory breadcrumb coating, perfect for Thanksgiving or any family gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (can substitute with avocado oil)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (about 75 grams)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 grams)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the green beans by snapping off the ends and rinse under cold water. Pat dry thoroughly.
  3. Place the green beans in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange green beans on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast green beans for 12 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through.
  6. While beans roast, mix melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl.
  7. Remove green beans from oven and stir gently, then evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top.
  8. Return to oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle fresh lemon zest over the hot green beans.
  10. Serve immediately for maximum crunch.

Notes

Dry green beans thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even roasting. Use panko breadcrumbs for best crispiness. If breadcrumbs brown too fast, tent with foil. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain crunch; avoid microwaving.
