Crispy Baked Parmesan Green Beans

Equipment

• Oven

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ⅛–¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• ⅓ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 1 lemon

Instructions

1. 1Position the oven racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle slots, then preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease two large rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.
2. 2Combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper in a large mixing bowl.
3. 3Whisk the Greek yogurt together with 2 tablespoons of water in a separate large bowl until smooth.
4. 4Place half of the trimmed green beans into the yogurt mixture and toss gently with your hands to coat them completely.
5. 5Move the yogurt-coated beans into the panko mixture, tossing to press the breadcrumbs onto the beans. Arrange them in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets.
6. 6Repeat this process with the remaining green beans and spread them evenly on the second baking sheet.
7. 7Bake for 8 minutes. Swap the positions of the baking sheets on the oven racks, then continue baking for another 3 to 5 minutes until the beans are tender and the coating is golden brown. Swapping the pans ensures they crisp up evenly without burning.
8. 8Transfer the baked green beans to a serving dish. Grate fresh lemon zest directly over the top and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
