Tips:
- For extra flavor, toast the bread crumbs until golden brown before mixing them with other ingredients.
- Don't overcook the green beans; aim for a tender-crisp texture to maintain their nutrient content and vibrant color.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer a bit of heat in your dish.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor, and consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.
- Experiment with different types of bread crumbs, such as panko, for varying textures.
