5. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans and toss lightly to distribute.
6. Spread the green beans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness and browning.
8. Remove from oven and, if desired, add lemon zest or extra Parmesan.

Notes
Dry the green beans thoroughly before roasting to avoid steaming and achieve crispiness.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
Avoid overcrowding the pan—spread beans in a single layer for even roasting.
Flip halfway through baking to promote even browning.
Watch closely near the end of roasting to avoid burning the cheese while achieving a crispy finish.
