Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place green beans, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag; marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.

  3. Spread green beans over a shallow baking pan; place under the broiler and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Cook's Notes:

This recipe is also good with Chinese long beans.

You can substitute crumbled feta cheese for Parmesan cheese. If using feta, omit the salt.
