Roasted Green Beans

There are Southern Green Beans and Northern Green Beans – Southern green beans are slow-cooked with pork for hours and hours and are truly wonderful.  Northern green beans are those bright green ones that crunch when you bite down on them.  I’m not so fond of those.

And there are roasted green beans which are truly marvelous!   Take fresh green bean and snap the ends off.  Try to get the smaller, more tender ones if at all possible.   Spread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and herbs.  I like to use something with garlic even if it’s only garlic salt.   Put in a 400 degree oven for apx 20 minutes and enjoy.  If they are larger green beans, you may need to cook them longer than 20 minutes.
