Roasted Green Beans

Roasted Green Beans are simple and utterly delicious! Toss fresh green beans in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, mustard, extra virgin olive oil, Sriracha sauce, black pepper and sea salt then roast to create a slightly sweet and spicy side dish for the holiday table.

Since I bumped Christmas Cookie Week until next week (due to the internet being on the fritz during our little ice storm whose remnants are still hanging out), I thought it might be fun and timely to share some recipes that would be good to bring to a holiday get-together, potluck or even your family’s own Christmas Dinner.

So. Green beans.

Green beans have always been one of my favorite vegetables, and I am always looking for new ways to cook them, especially since Winston and I can easily devour an entire batch of them in an evening. (True story.)

This recipe came from drizzling some homemade salad dressing atop some green beans a few years ago in an attempt to get finish off the dressing and give the beans an added savory quality. I’ve tinkered with that original idea ever since, adding a few different products in the hopes to change it up a bit. Not because the original wasn’t good, but because I sometimes just like to eat something different with some unique flavors. And, in the last batch of tinkers, I added the zing that seals the deal.

These green beans are simple and easy to make, requiring little-to-no hands-on time, and then you just pop them in the oven, bake until the beans are crisp tender, then enjoy.
