Roasted green beans...
 
where have you BEEN all of my life!

I've roasted every single other veggie imaginable but NEVER FRESH from the garden green beans.

I made myself three cups (raw) with 1 T EVOO, lemon pepper salt free seasoning and fresh cracked pepper.

I ate... them... ALL. True I just had that and two hb eggs for dinner... but ALL. And they were so freaking good!

ah. Full. happy :)

Roasted green beans is just about one of my favorite all time foods - and my family's too.

WE LOVE THEM!!!

I roast them with thinly sliced onions and fresh chopped garlic and some sea salt. I can't even begin to count all the people that I have told about this fabulous food find here at home. It gets raves from every one. It is a staple in my diet and I eat it OFTEN. They're on the menu for this coming Friday night. Yummmmm....

Oooh... I am SO going to try that.

What's EVOO??

starfishkitty 08-19-2010 12:49 AM

How do you make them??

luckymommy 08-19-2010 12:49 AM

Extra Virgin Olive Oil = EVOO :) I know about it from watching Rachel Ray. ;)

The green beans sound great! I might just give it a try too. Thanks! :)

Absolutely one of my favorite veggies! I think that they're a great sub for French fries...you get that same crunchy/greasy/salty satisfaction without the guilt.

So for us other English speakers :) are green beans the long, string bean kind of things, or something different?

Yup.

My *recipe*:

I take about 1 tsp of oil and spread it thinly on a roasting sheet (that I've covered with aluminum foil - easier clean up), than I lay the green beans out, and spray it with a bit of cooking spray. I place it in the oven at 400 degrees and bake for about 10 - 12 minutes. Than I place the onions and garlic and sea salt with the beans. I roast another 15 minutes or so, turning a couple of times, till they begin to get wrinkly and a bit brownish.

Yes, green beans are string beans. Yum.

Adding some dill weed with the salt and olive oil is also a yummy way to go.

Thanks, I'll give them a go, they sound yummy, I just never thought of roasting anything so thin!

Oh...my....gosh! I adore green beans and could exist on a diet of them alone. SO gonna try this....

SnowboundChick 08-19-2010 08:36 AM

Green beans are one of my fav veggies and I never thought to roast them! Yum!

I don't know how far I would have gotten without roasted green beans. Seriously.
