Roast Green Beans

If you have never roasted vegetable you are missing one yummy way to enjoy them.  Even small non-green-eating children like these and they can’t be easier.

Green Beans

Pam

Salt

Preheat convection oven to 425º.  If you don’t have convection set oven at 450º.

Cut the stem end off the green beans.  Cover cookie sheet with foil spray with Pam.  Spread the green beans out in a single layer if you can, but a little overlapping won’t ruin it.  Put in the oven and check on them after 15 mins.  The amount of time it takes to cook them depends on their thickness and water content.  It could take up to 25 minutes for them to finish.  You want them to start to brown.  Sprinkle salt on them once they are out of the oven.

Always make at least double the amount you think you will need.  First roasting shrinks them down and second you won’t be able to stop snacking on them.  This recipe is great for even the most marginal of green beans, like really old ones or out of season.
