Look what came in my CSA basket today! A big bag of Romano beans. Maybe you know them as Italian green beans or pole beans. I’m going to toss these in a little olive oil with some garlic, chives and red pepper flakes and roast them for an addictive appetizer tonight. Oh and see the red carrots in the background? They’re sliced nice and thin and already roasting in the oven.
Roasted Romano Beans
1 lb romano beans, trimmed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves, sliced
2 -3 TBS fresh chives, chopped
red pepper flakes, to taste
salt and pepper
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium bowl mix olive oil, garlic, chives and seasonings. Add trimmed romano beans and toss to coat. Spread beans on a baking sheet and roast for 20 – 30 minutes, until tender and brown.
New adventure in cooking! I have not ever tried Romano beans! In fact I didn’t even know there were such things. Ah, food information! Thank you!
