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.
