Roasted Balsamic + Cheese Green Beans

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans
  • 2 Tbsps aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • tiny pinch of sea salt and pepper
  • 1 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese or any cheese of choice

Garnish:

  • freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Thoroughly wash the green beans and place them in a colander to completely drain the excess water.
  • To quickly trim the ends, take a handful of green beans (while picking them
  • place the ends in the same direction). Slice off about 1/2-inch of the stem ends and discard the ends.
  • Place your trimmed beans in a large bowl.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients, except for the mozzarella and parsley, then toss to coat each green bean with the seasonings really well.
  • Transfer your beans to your prepared pan and arrange them in a single layer as shown. Use a spatula to get all the leftover seasonings/oil out of the bowl and drizzle over beans.
  • Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella, and roast at 400 degrees f. for about 15 minutes, or until cheese is nicely melted and beans are tender-crisp.
  • Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
