Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Spread the green beans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 5
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred, stirring halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest. Toss gently to coat.
Step 7
Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot, and enjoy your low-carb perfectly roasted green beans!
