Serves 2

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed, washed and dried

1 small fennel bulb chopped, white part only, core removed, about 1/2 cup

Splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Kosher salt, about 1 teaspoon

Freshly ground black pepper , about 1/2 teaspoon

A Squeeze of fresh lemon juice,, about 1 tablespoon

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese about 1/4 cup

Preheat oven to 450˚. Chop the fennel bulb into a fine dice. Add the clean, trimmed green beans to a baking sheet and toss with the chopped fennel.  Add a splash of EVOO to coat the green beans and fennel without drowning them in oil, add the salt and pepper and toss to blend.  Roast until the beans reach the desired al dente stage, about 5-7 minutes

Remove from the oven and immediately add the squeeze of fresh lemon over them and add the fresh grated Parmesan and toos. 

Serve immediately.
