Roasted Green Beans

Roasting vegetables has become one of my favorite methods to make an awesome, easy side dish. I made green beans the other day to show Shelby that they aren't always canned and nasty. I don't think I entirely convinced her, but I love them.


Ingredients:

• 1-2 handfuls of fresh green beans (or as many as you want to make)
  
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Parmesan cheese
  

Method:

• Cut the ends off the green beans, and cut in half, if they're long. You want them to be 1-2 inches long.
• Place green beans into a bowl, add olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese and mix together.
  
• Put a piece of wax paper onto a rimmed baking sheet, and pour the seasoned green beans on top.
• Cook for 10-12 mins at 400F or until slightly crispy.

Voila! An easy, instant side dish. Works great for asparagus too.
