Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup pecan pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Wash and drain green beans and snap off ends. Lay green beans in a pile on a large baking sheet.
  • 2. In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper with a fork. Drizzle vinaigrette over green beans and toss to coat them well. Season green beans with salt. Roast green beans in oven for 20-22 minutes, being sure to toss them around halfway through cooking.
  • 3. While green beans are cooking, lightly toast pecan pieces in a small skillet over low heat for 5 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally.
