Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the almonds on a tin foil covered baking sheet and spread in a single layer. Bake for 4-5 minutes, watching carefully so you don't burn them. Remove to a different dish and set aside.
Place the beans in a single layer on the same baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
While the beans are still on the baking sheet add the lemon juice, almonds, and the cheese. Mix together and then move to a serving dish. Garnish with more cheese if you like.

Notes

I use fresh green beans, not canned or frozen. make sure to wash fresh green beans and trim the ends off.

I grate the Parmesan cheese myself, for freshness and flavor. Use the Parmsesan cheese that you prefer.

Substitutions - You could use sliced almond instead or try pecans or walnuts.

Storage - Lasts for 3-4 days in the fridge.
