Green Beans with Roasted Onion
Green Beans are one of my favorite vegetables to make. They are easily found most any time of year, and they add a nice color to most any meal. | I like to roast the onion the day before, so that it is ready to pull together when the vegetables are finished steaming. Another good idea is to roast a few cloves of garlic along with the onion. Simply drizzle oil on the garlic and add the cloves (peeled) to the foil packet before you place it in the oven. This is a good dish to take to pot lucks, because this vegetarian recipe is easily doubled and tripled. |
Experiment by adding sun dried tomatoes, or maybe some crumbled feta cheese. This simple recipe is one of the easiest vegetarian recipes.
