Ingredients

  • 1 pound French string beans, both ends removed
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 red onion, large- diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, large diced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, large diced
  • Good olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for just 4 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When they are cool, drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl toss the onion and bell peppers together with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, tossing with a spatula from time to time to be sure the vegetables roast evenly.

Just before serving, reheat the string beans in a large saute pan drizzled with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange on a platter. Spoon the roasted vegetables over the string beans and serve hot or at room temperature.

    I'm sorry but no matter how good it looks or sounds I am afraid to try any more of Ina's recipes. I tried her Chicken... Chili. It looked like someone threw up in the pan.Read more

    Made these for a side dish and they looked absolutely fantastic on the platter with their bright colors. Even better, they... tasted just as good as they looked! A keeper.Read more

    Deliciously Different

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I've been on a quest for ways to make vegetables that aren't the same old way and this recipe fits the bill. It was easy and... very good. I had seared some steak in a grilling pan and rather than use another pan, to heat up the beans I put them into the steak pan, drizzled a bit of olive oil over them, but also let the tiny steak bits and some of the juices mix in. It was a wonderful blend and tied the beans to the entree. Thanks!Read more
