After Tuesdays posting of Butterfinger Banana Pudding (click here if you missed it), and considering the fact that there is Easter candy lurking around every corner of my life (…help me Rhonda…Cadbury Mini Eggs are going to be the death of me, I swear…I really do!), I opted to take a break from sweet sugar and relish in a more sturdy, nutrient packed kind of food today, dear reader. Crazy, wild times, I know.
Let me introduce you to Mushrooms and Green Beans.
They are vegetables, a food variety that has been MIA over the past few weeks here on the blog. So sorry, all. I am happy to be presenting them to you today in a roasted version that may surprise you. Something magical happens when fresh vegetables are roasted. They might not look overly attractive and scrumptious, but that dark golden sear you see on the mushrooms and green beans pictured above translates into “Holy goodness!” and “Those are crazy good!” and “Who would have considered vegetables to be delightful!”.
It’s true, guys. Take my word for it, won’t you!
PS…special bonus recipe post coming up on Saturday.
Sugar is involved. 🙂
Pan Fried Chicken and Country Gravy
Shredded Balsamic Beef Roast (Crock Pot)
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Roll Ups
Orange Glazed Ham with Mustard Sauce
Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Grab 2 pounds fresh green beans and 1 pound fresh mushrooms. I opted for these pre-cut mushrooms (time saver!).
2. Toss them into a large bowl and drizzle 2 Tb olive oil and 1 Tb balsamic vinegar over the tops. Toss to combine.
3. Line 2 large baking sheets with tin foil and spread the veggies out over them.
I took a pair of sharp kitchen scissors and snipped some of the longer green beans in half. You can leave them longer if you choose, I thought they would be easier to eat in smaller pieces. Resist the urge to salt them at this point. Salt will make the mushrooms release a lot of liquid, making it more difficult for them to get that beautiful golden sear.
4. Pop those babies into the oven and let them roast away. My oven handled both pans just fine, however I did move the bottom pan to the top rack and the top pan to the bottom rack (that was a mouthful, yes?) about 10 minutes into the cooking time. You’ll also want to stir them a couple of times during the cooking process.
Roast for 20 minutes total, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and the green beans are crisp tender.
5. Toss with freshly cracked salt and pepper to your liking and serve immediately.
Enjoy!

Good Morning
Th beans/mushrooms look good, do you think this could be done on the BBG?
Hi Linda,
Can you tell you what you mean by “BBG”…are your referring to a bbq grill?
~Jamie
Yes I mean the BBQ can I do on the BBQ hit the wrong key, also your recipe for the carrot’s can it be done on the BBQ.
Thanks
Linda
Linda,
I haven’t ever tried either recipe on the grill, but imagine if you laid out some tin foil it would work out great.
Best of luck!
