Add chopped pecans to the mixture, referring to the measurements in the description box.

Add a tiny splash of red pepper flakes to taste, approximately 1 teaspoon for the whole recipe.

Add a little lemon zest to the mixture.

Add about 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the green beans.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Mix all the ingredients together until the green beans are well coated.

Transfer the mixture to a cast-iron pan or line a baking sheet with the green beans.

Place the pan or baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until browned and the cheese starts to melt.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 4-5 minutes before serving.
