Green beans tossed with garlic, lemon zest, olive oil and a little S&P are roasted to perfection. But when you add a few other goodies... toasted pine nuts, Parmigiano, lemon juice and more zest... the dish becomes rather addicting:
Roasted Green Beans with Lemon, Pine Nuts and Parmigiano.
Too often I steam up green beans or broccoli, or do a simple saute of zucchini to serve as a side to our main dishes. Blah, blah, blah. Boring. This little side dish has a little pizzazz in it, and it's terrific to serve with simply grilled meat.
