Ingredients
1 lbs fresh green beans1 medium red pepper1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 tbsp balsamic vinegar1 tsp honey1 tsp Penzey's Sunny Paris spice (or dried chives)1 tsp crushed garlic1/4 cup toasted pecans
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil. (Since I use a ceramic pan which cleans up easily, I just used a spray of canola oil instead.) While oven is heating up, snap off the ends of the green beans and slice peppers thinly.
Spread beans and red pepper slices in the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss them to coat. Sprinkle with salt, toss to coat, and distribute evenly around the pan in a single layer. Put in 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.
While beans roast, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, Penzeys and crushed garlic in a small bowl. Remove beans from oven after 10 minutes; drizzle vinegar and honey mix over the beans. Return to oven for 12-15 minutes, or until beans have dark spots and have begun to shrivel.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pecans. The pecans will tend to settle on the bottom, which is fine -- you can save the leftovers for a delicious salad topping on tomorrow's lunch.
