BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND WHOLE CLOVES OF GARLIC MAKE THESE ROASTED GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOMS EXTRA SPECIAL..
It’s always a challenge to find simple yet delicious ways to serve vegetables to my family, but these Balsamic Garlic Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms definitely fit the bill.
- I feel like it’s important to serve vegetables with dinner, but I often resort to tossing a bag of baby carrots on the table with a bottle of Ranch dressing.
- Not that there’s anything wrong with that, especially since that’s one veggie I know my kids will eat! But every once in a while I like to serve something a little more fancy, if you know what I mean? And balsamic vinegar makes just about anything seem fancy!
- These delicious roasted beans and mushrooms have just a few simple ingredients, and once they’re in the oven, I don’t need to fuss over them.
- My husband and I especially love green beans prepared this way, and my kids will eat them too (although a few of them bypass the mushrooms), which makes this the perfect side dish for almost any meal.
- I love that this dish is simple enough for every day dining, but classy enough for company and special occasions.
- This is the kind of recipe that I know I’ll be making for years to come!
