Balsamic Roasted Green Beans

These are AWESOME with garden fresh green beans!!

Ingredients:
1 lb. fresh green beans, preferably thin French style beans
1 1/2 T olive oil
1 T balsamic vinegar
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
2 T finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 450F. Trim ends of beans and cut beans in half so you have bite-sized pieces.
2.  Put cut beans into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar and pour over, then stir so all the beans are lightly coated with the mixture. 
3. Arrange on large cookie sheet, spreading them out well so beans and mushrooms are not crowded. Roast 20-30 minutes, starting to check for doneness after 20 minutes.(I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper to keep them from sticking!!)
4.  Cook until beans are tender-crisp. 
5.  Season beans to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper, then sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan. Serve hot.
