Not a recipe, but take whole, fresh string beans adn snip off the stem
endput in a roasting pan, oiled with olive ile and roll the beans around
in it. Add the seasonings of your choice, salt, pepper, garlic are
particularly good. roast in the oven , turning them at oeast once until
they are done, they may look a bit wrinkled or brown, but done cook them
to death or burn them. try about a 375 oven temp. If you like when done
pour a litttle balsamic vinegar on them, or serve that on the side for
your bland lovers.
