Tips
- Sweet and tangy: Add thick wedges of red onion to the green beans when they go in the oven. After 10 minutes, toss the onion and green beans with a mixture of 1 teaspoon honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, ½ teaspoon dried or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Roast for another 7-10 minutes, remove from the oven, and top with 1/3 cup walnuts or other nut.
- Asian sesame: After roasting for the first 10 minutes, remove green beans from the oven and toss with a mixture of 1 tablespoon minced garlic, ½ teaspoon dried ginger, 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and 4 teaspoons sesame seeds.
