Roasted Green Beans

In my quest to roast as many vegetables as possible I got a pound of fresh green beans from the grocery store the other day.  I have never had them prepared this way and I have to say that I cooked them longer than most probably would but they actually started to turn into crunchy straws of a vegetable instead of a mushy mess and I really enjoyed them that way as it was a textural experience.

Roasted Green Beans: Serves 2-3

1lb Fresh String Beans, ends removed
1TB Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Rinse the string beans and snap or cut the ends off. Dry with a towel and toss with olive oil, salt & pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400° for 30-40 minutes. This will start to crisp the vegetable on all sides. If you would prefer to have a more traditional green bean take them out after 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
