Roasted Garlic Green Beans with Pine Nuts

0

garlicgreenbeansFresh green beans can be so delicious. They can also be very bland with the wrong recipe. This is a great recipe- simple enough, yet great texture and a wonderful flavor. If you don’t have white balsamic vinegar, you can substitute regular balsamic.

Ingredients:
cooking spray (organic canola is my favorite)
1 lb. green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 – 1.5” pieces
1 sweet onion, sliced into half-moons
2 T minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
3 T pine nuts
1.5 T white balsamic vinegar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray cooking spray on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread beans and onion on sheet. Spread minced garlic over the top. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle pine nuts over the beans, then change over to the broil setting. Move sheet up to the top rack. Broil for 2-3 minutes- keep your eye on it so the pine nuts don’t burn!
Scoop beans to a serving bowl and toss with the vinegar.
Serve.
