Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms

This was a good twist to my usual side items. Paula Deen had this recipe in her Sep/Oct 2008 magazine. I love green beans and mushrooms, and I would have never thought to combine the two. The green beans were still crisp, and the mushrooms were tender when it came out of the oven (I cooked them for about 20 minutes and added a bit more olive oil. I also cut the recipe in half (maybe even more) since I was cooking for 2. The full recipe serves 6-8.

Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
1 (8-ounce) package fresh mushrooms, quartered
2 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Combine green beans and mushrooms on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat. Bake for 15 minutes, or until desired degree of tenderness. Serve immediately.
