Baked Green Beans

[TennesseeRains]

Get hold of some fresh green beans...pole beans best.

String em - cut off both ends - of course wash them.

Pre-heat oven to 325.

Then - put a mess of beans in a bowl; drizzle some olive oil over em, then sprinkle some sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper on em too. Then roll them around with your hands...put em on a cookie sheet now - just one layer.

Now, the secret part....either finely chop some fresh basil - or use the dried store-bought stuff - then sprinkle it on...

Then - (the part where I can't eat) - sprinkle you on some mozzerella cheese!!!

Place into oven for 30 minutes.

Then eat.

I love green beans. Might have to give that a try.

I will try that.
We cook asparagus almost the same but leave off the basil, use parmesan cheese and cook for a little less time.

I love roasted vegetables. I can eat any vegetable roasted, like beets, that I don't eat if prepared differently. I have never put mozzerella cheese on roasted green beans, though. Might have to try that.

Are you roasting sliced beets, or whole beets?

These recipes are making my stomach growl...

 

[green doe]

They were whole beets. I washed them but didn't peel them, then cut off the ends and drizzled a little olive oil. I wish I could tell you the temperature or the time but I can't remember and my recipe collection is in turmoil due to the move.

I do remember, though, that you have to be really careful with the juice and use lots of foil. In fact, I think I used a foil-lined 9 x 14 pan and not a sheet pan. That beet juice stains the dickens out of everything and I am about as clumsy as they come.

GD- If you are a big green bean fan, my wife does them in a microwave bag with lots of butter, a little OVO and a tad of chopped garlic. Takes about four minutes and come out just as crunchy and tasty as can be. Has become my fave.

BW - my wife does the green beans that way as well w/out the garlic. With two hungry kids in the house it's a lot quicker than on the stove.
