Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional for a zesty twist)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to make for easy cleanup once your delicious bites are ready.

    Prep the Green Beans: Rinse your fresh green beans thoroughly under cold running water. Trim off the ends to ensure they cook evenly. After rinsing, dry them carefully using a clean kitchen towel, as removing moisture is key to achieving that irresistible crunch!

      Season the Beans: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the trimmed green beans to the bowl and toss well until they are fully coated with the flavorful seasoning mix.

        Incorporate the Parmesan: Sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned green beans. Toss again until the beans are evenly coated with the cheesy goodness, ensuring each piece gets that delicious layer of flavor.

          Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned green beans out in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be mindful not to overcrowd them, as space is essential for maximum crispiness.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. About halfway through baking, give the pan a gentle shake to redistribute the beans for even cooking. You’ll know they’re ready when they turn golden brown and crispy.

              Cool and Dress: After baking, remove the sheet from the oven and let your crispy green bean bites cool for a few minutes. If you desire a burst of brightness, drizzle them with fresh lemon juice just before serving.

                Serve and Enjoy: Present your Crispy Parmesan Green Bean Bites as a delightful snack, appetizer, or side dish. Their satisfying crunch is sure to impress your family and friends!
