Oven Roasted Green Beans


Eat your greens! I have oven roasted green beans before, but none ever turned out quite this good. The kiddos gobbled them right up with their fingers. This one will be a weekly staple for us! Thanks Emeril!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds green beans
1 1/2 T extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 fresh minced garlic cloves

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Trim/snap the ends of the green beans and add to a large bowl. Toss with the extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Spread out evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Roast, stirring once halfway through, until lightly caramelized and crisp tender, 20 minutes.

Tips:
-Recipe easily halved (that is what I did)
-I cooked the full 20 mins to get them extra browned
-I think the beans get more blistered/browned in a good way with no parchment paper

How to post a recipe

A lot of yall have been asking me for a reminder on how to post, so here it is!

I have all the HDs as authors, so all of you should be able to make a new post at any time. When you open the blog webpage (link below), you should see a link in the top right-hand corner that says 'sign-in' or maybe 'new post' sometimes if you are already signed in.

http://www.hddailydish.blogspot.com/

If you click 'New Post' it will open right up where you can write up a new post. If you are not signed in (most of y'all), click 'sign in' and it brings up a log-in screen. Your login ID is your email address that your blog emails go to. As for password - - I am not sure, one of y'all needs to try it and let me know what password you need or if it prompts you set up one. I have a gmail account and blogger is connected to the gmail network, so for me it is just my gmail login info I type in. For those of you without gmail, someone try it and let me know! I don't think any non-gmail HD's have posted anything in the last year.

Once you sign-in, there should be a button on the left that says 'New Post'. Just click that and it opens up a space to type and you are ready to go!

If you need me to update the email address that your blogs emails go to or if you want to use a different one to post blogs, let me know and I can change that.

Don't forget when posting a recipe, please use the labels on your post so the search capability will work correctly on our blog when we want to find recipes quickly. The labels that we have already made already pop up under the label box, so you can choose one or more of those or make a new one up.
