How to Cook Green Beans in Oven

• First, turn your oven to 400 degrees F. While it’s warming up, grab a large baking sheet and give it a good spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Now, toss those fresh green beans into a big mixing bowl.
• Next up, add in all the other good stuff – you know, the salt, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and panko bread crumbs. Give it all a good mix so those green beans are coated and seasoned to perfection.
• Once everything’s all mixed up, transfer the green beans onto a large sheet pan. Make sure they’re spread out evenly in a single layer so they all cook evenly. 
• Pop the green beans into the hot oven. Bake them for about 15-20 minutes or until they’re looking crispy and delicious. When they’re ready to serve, add some zing with fresh lemon slices. Enjoy!

Leftovers & Reheating

Freezing

• If you want to freeze the roasted green beans for later use, it’s best to do so before adding the parmesan cheese and panko bread crumbs. These ingredients can lose their texture and flavor when frozen.
• Place the roasted green beans on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. This helps prevent them from clumping together.
• Freeze the baking sheet with the green beans for about 1-2 hours or until they are frozen solid. This process is known as flash freezing.
• Once the green beans are frozen, transfer them to an airtight freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible before sealing to prevent freezer burn.
• Label the container or bag with the recipe name and date of freezing for easy identification.

Storage

• If you’re not freezing the green beans and plan to consume them within a few days, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Place the roasted green beans in a single layer to prevent them from becoming mushy or getting crushed.
• Keep the green beans away from strong-smelling foods in the fridge to avoid flavor transfer.

Reheating

• When you’re ready to enjoy the frozen roasted green beans, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread the frozen green beans on a baking sheet in a single layer. You don’t need to thaw them beforehand.
• Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until heated through and crispy.
• Check the beans occasionally to ensure they don’t overcook or burn.
