Roasted Garlic and Mushroom Green Beans

A Flavorful & Nutritious Side Dish

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 2-3 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 cup green beans, washed and trimmed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (white, cremini, or your choice)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Directions:

1. Preparation: Start by washing the green beans and trimming off the ends. Slice or mince the garlic cloves. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a baking dish, combine the green beans, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, ensuring the green beans and mushrooms are well-coated.
3. Season (Optional): If desired, season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together to ensure even seasoning.
4. Roast: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place the baking dish in the oven and roast for approximately 30 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and have a slight crunch, and the mushrooms are golden brown. Halfway through, you might want to stir or toss the mixture for even roasting.
5. Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Transfer the roasted garlic and mushroom green beans to a serving plate and enjoy while hot!

Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roast chicken, or even as a side for a hearty pasta dish.

Note: Roasted Garlic and Mushroom Green Beans is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines the earthiness of mushrooms with the aromatic flavors of garlic and the crispiness of green beans. It’s a great way to elevate your green beans and make them the star of the meal. Enjoy!
