Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms with Glascock's Produce Green Beans

In this week's edition of Cooking Locally, we prepare a delicious side dish that couldn't be easier to make.

It's officially Fall (even though the rain and humidity make it feel decidedly more Spring-like outside). Despite the weather, I'm in full-on decorative gourd season mode, so my thoughts are turning to holidays, family and dinners.

When I went to the Farmer's Market this past weekend, I saw a vendor that hasn't been there over the summer: Glascock's Produce. They were selling apple cider, jams, and a very tempting peach daquiri mix. They also had a selection of pumpkins, apples, winter squash, garlic and green beans.

I picked up a pound of green beans and found a recipe for a delicious, filling side dish that couldn't be easier to make and it would look great at any holiday dinner.

My favorite part about this is that all you basically do is throw everything in a ziploc bag and toss it in the oven. This makes it perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or as an easy side dish when you have a million other things happening in the kitchen.

  • 1 8 oz package of baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 lb. Glascock's Produce green beans
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 1/2 T olive oil
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 T parmesan cheese

Heat oven to 450. Trim the ends of the beans and place in a gallon-sized plastic storage bag. Add the mushrooms, garlic, oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Shake until mushrooms and green beans are completely covered.

Place mixture on a cookie sheet and spread out as much as possible. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft and green beans are crispy. Transfer to a serving dish and top with parmesan cheese.
