Roasted Green Beans

Green beans are in abundance. Here's a great way to prepare them, from CSA member Faith Levy. She suggests, "an aluminum foil liner prevents burning on dark baking sheets. When using baking sheets with a light finish, foil is not necessary, but makes for easy clean up."

Ingredients

1 lb green beans, flat beans or pole beans

1 tablespoon olive oil

S & P

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Line rimmed baking sheet w/ aluminum foil. Spread beans on baking sheet. Drizzle w/ oil; using hands, toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle w/ 1/2 teaspoon salt , toss to coat, and distribute in even layer. Roast 10 minutes.

3. Remove baking sheet from oven. Using tongs, redistribute beans. Continue roasting until beans are dark golden brown in spots and have started to shrivel, ten minutes longer.

4. Adjust seasoning w/ S & P, transfer to serving bowl and enjoy.
