Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the green beans in the boiling water until softened, but not fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and the garlic and cook until they start to turn golden. Add in the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until the mushrooms are cooked but still first and not overly brown

Step 4

Add in the green beans, tossing to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a large baking dish coated with nonstick spray. Cover and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans reach a desired tenderness

Step 5

The dish can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated for up to 2 days

Step 6

To make the crumb topping, melt 1 tablespoon butter, add the panko bread crumbs and toss to coat. Remove from the heat and mix in the grated parmesan cheese

Step 7

Remove the green beans from the oven, uncover and top with the panko-parmesan mixture. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes or until the panko crumbs toast slightly. Remove from the oven, grind a bit of black pepper over the top, squeeze on some fresh lemon juice and serve
