Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
Seasonings
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425ºF (218ºC) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting your vegetables.
- Toss the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed green beans, sliced mushrooms, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread on baking pan: Arrange the coated green beans and mushrooms in a single layer on a 15×10-inch baking pan. This helps them roast evenly and achieve a nice caramelization.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the green beans are tender-crisp and the mushrooms are golden and cooked through.
Notes
- You can substitute balsamic vinegar with lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, watching carefully.
- Add freshly chopped herbs like thyme or rosemary before serving for added aroma.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a side for vegetarian mains.
- If you prefer softer green beans, extend roasting time by 5 minutes.
