Growing up I have memories of picking green beans then snapping them for what felt like weeks or weeks, though my mom tells me it was more like two to three times and not even for hours and hours! Either way as a kid I was only fond of green beans that were canned and as a grown up I tended to just stay away from them in the grocery store though there was really no reason for me not to like them. As time has gone on I have been trying to incorporate them into my routine more and more. This recipe came from my having both green beans and blue cheese in the fridge and saying "worse comes to worse...I have broccoli for dinner if this is awful!" I actually really enjoyed these and think they are a good side dish to any meal.
Roasted Green Beans with Blue Cheese: Serves 2-4
1lbs Green Beans - Ends Trimmed
1tsp Olive Oil
Salt / Pepper
2TB Blue Cheese Crumbles
Toss the green beans with the olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a greased sheet pan in a 400° oven for approximately 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your green beans...mine were pretty thick). Once they have turned vibrant green, remove from the oven, sprinkle the blue cheese on top and return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes to slightly melt. Serve and Enjoy!
