Herb Butter Roasted Veggies
Fresh green beans taste so much better than canned and can be found in the produce department of most grocery stores.
- 4 new red potatoes, scrubbed, rinsed, and quartered
- 4 baby bellas, crimini or other mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
- 2 tbsp vegan butter (Earth Balance, Smart Balance Light w/ Flax, Blue Bonnet Light)
- 1 fresh garlic clove minced or 1/2 tsp minced garlic in jar
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray medium casserole dish w/ non-stick spray and add the mushrooms and potatoes. Melt butter in a small bowl then add garlic, basil and thyme – drizzle over veggies and toss to coat evenly. Roast until the vegetables begin to brown, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and toss in green beans. Season with the salt and pepper, return to the oven an additional 10 minutes, or until vegetables are golden brown and potatoes are tender.
