Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Zest of 1 lemon (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans and thoroughly dry them with a kitchen towel. It's essential to remove excess moisture for maximum crispiness.

      Season the Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss in the prepared green beans until they are evenly coated with the mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure they crisp up nicely.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the green beans are crisp and golden brown. Halfway through baking, give them a good shake or toss to promote even cooking.

            Add Lemon Zest: Once baked, remove the green bean chips from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the lemon zest over the hot chips for a fresh flavor kicker.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the green bean chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will become crunchier as they cool. Serve them warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
