Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed

Garlic Oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (natural)

Crispy Topping

  • 1/2 cup plant-based parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse and trim the ends off the green beans. Pat them completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness when baked.
  2. Make the Garlic Oil: Finely mince the garlic cloves and combine them with olive oil (natural) in a small bowl. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to infuse the oil with aromatic garlic flavor.
  3. Coat the Beans: Toss the dried green beans in the garlic-infused olive oil until they are evenly coated. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere and infuse the beans with flavor.
  4. Add the Crispy Topping: In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, plant-based parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the coated green beans to create a crunchy topping on each bean.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Spread the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Make sure green beans are completely dry after washing for maximum crispiness.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best, most intense flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Lightly toast breadcrumbs in a dry pan before mixing for an extra crunchy and nutty flavor.
  • Use an oven thermometer to maintain accurate baking temperature for best results.
