Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. Coat two large rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.<\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, whisk together the panko, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and 2 tablespoons water. To ensure evenly distributed coating, add half of the green beans at a time and gently toss, using your hands, until all the beans are coated.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer the beans to the panko coating and again use your hands to gently toss until all the beans are breaded. Spread out the beans on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat the process with the remaining beans, spreading them out on the other sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for 8 minutes, then switch the top tray to the bottom rack and vice versa. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the beans are cooked through to your preference. Transfer the beans to a serving platter.<\/p>\n<p>Using a Microplane or citrus zester, grate the zest from the lemon over the green beans. Cut the lemon into wedges and serve alongside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Healthy Kitchen Hack:<\/strong> Though not technically a Mediterranean staple, panko bread crumbs are our go-to ingredient for any coating thanks to their flaky texture, which makes breaded foods taste lighter and crispier. But if you don\u2019t have panko on hand, you can swap in cornmeal, dried bread crumbs, or even crushed cornflakes. Or better yet, make your own bread crumbs with any stale bread (from sliced bread to pita) by toasting it in a toaster, toaster oven, or on a baking sheet in a 400\u00b0F oven (while you have the oven on for another recipe, to save energy). Cool the toasted bread and then blitz it in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form. Store in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 1 month.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">Recipe and photo used with permission from <a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/winter-2023\/bookshelf-winter-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sustainable Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: 110 Easy, Healthy Recipes to Reduce Food Waste, Eat in Season, and Help the Earth.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"back-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/winter-2023\/food-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Back to Food Article<\/a><\/p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View recipe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13560,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,168],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe","category-winter-2023-recipe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13555"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13654,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13555\/revisions\/13654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
