Ingredients
- Green beans, trimmed: 1 pound
- Cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered if large: 8 ounces
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- Balsamic vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Red pepper flakes: 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the green beans and mushrooms with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Step 3: Spread the green bean and mushroom mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and slightly browned, and the mushrooms are cooked.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat in a skillet over medium heat to help retain their crisp-tender texture.
- Serve alongside roasted chicken or fish for a simple and flavorful side dish.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary, to ensure the vegetables roast evenly and don't steam.
