Green Beans with Mushrooms, Balsamic and Parmesan image

I like this as a side dish when we have grilled steak or a marinated flank steak. The balsamic and Parmesan touch really adds a lot of flavor.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch strips
8 oz sliced button mushrooms (brown cremini mushrooms work well, too)
1 medium onion, halved and then cut into thin half-rings
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese, finely grated

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C.
  • 2. Put beans, mushrooms and onion into a large zip-lock bag (or a large mixing bowl).
  • 3. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and shake bag until vegetables are well coated.
  • 4. Arrange vegetables on a large baking sheet, spreading them out so beans and mushrooms aren't too crowded. Roast in oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until beans are tender-crisp and all liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Sprinkle chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese on top, and serve immediately.
