    Green Beans With Parmesan Cheese

    Fresh green beans not only are tasty and crunchy; but they also have so many health benefits such as a good source of vitamin C, high in fibres and protein, slightly low in carbs. Moreover, they have low calories 1 cup of fresh green beans (100 g) gives 31 calories. 

    There are several ways to cook fresh green beans; this recipe is my favourite one. Green beans with parmesan cheese, the combination of garlic, butter and parmesan cheese gives an excellent taste to the beans. Also, drizzling with lemon juice makes the beans even more delicious.
