**Garlic and Rosemary Green Beans: A Classic Side Dish with a Twist**

Green beans, a versatile vegetable often relegated to supporting roles in larger dishes, take center stage in this delightful recipe. Garlic and rosemary, two aromatic herbs with strong flavors, elevate the humble green bean to new heights. These three simple ingredients come together in a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving for more. The addition of Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness and umami, while the lemon zest brightens things up with its citrusy notes.

**Recipe Variations:**

* **Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans:** Elevate the dish with the addition of crispy bacon. Wrap each green bean with a thin slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Roast the green beans until the bacon is cooked and the green beans are tender.

* **Spicy Green Beans:** Add a touch of heat with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper. For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different peppers, such as chipotle powder and paprika.

* **Almond-Crusted Green Beans:** Give the green beans a crunchy coating with chopped almonds. Toss the green beans with a mixture of melted butter, olive oil, and chopped almonds. Roast the green beans until the almonds are golden brown and the green beans are tender.

* **Balsamic Glazed Green Beans:** Add a touch of sweetness and acidity with a balsamic glaze. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and a touch of Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce it until it thickens. Drizzle the glaze over the roasted green beans and toss to coat.

Steps:

  • Pulse the bread in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
