Balsamic Roasted Green Beans



I love roasting vegetables - I've already shared a vegetable mix, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and green beans. When I saw this recipe, I thought it was a great variation on roasting - adding in balsamic vinegar and then topping with a sprinkling of Parmesan. I could tell by looking at it that it would taste good, but I was unprepared for how the balsamic vinegar brought out the sweetness of the beans. Wow! I can't wait to try this method with other vegetables now!

In a large bowl, combine the green beans, mushrooms, oil



and vinegar and stir well to coat all the vegetables. Turn out onto a large baking sheet



and spread out in a single layer.



Roast at 450 for 20-30 minutes or until beans are tender.



Sprinkle with parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
