Roasted Green Beans and Grape Tomatoes

Roasted Green Beans and Tomatoes
Ingredients
About 1/2 lb fresh washed green beans with ends trimmed off
Grape tomatoes halved or quartered
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper (I used a garlic and red pepper grinder mix)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375*F or 400*F (I was worried about my pans on 400 so I did 375)
2. Coat baking sheet with olive oil
3. Toss green beans and tomatoes together on pan with additional spray or two (about 1-2 T) olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste
4. Bake, shaking pan occasionally to shift veggies for about 15-20 mins until starting to brown and sizzle.

Ignore the little piece of beef from the stroganoff that snuck its way into this pic!

Sliced and seeded cucumber with skin
Chopped carrots
Sprinking of Feta
Seeded sunflower seeds
Squeeze of half of a lime or lemon
Light spray of olive oil
Tiny bit of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Toss ingredients together and enjoy! I love salads this way... super easy and delicious. If you haven't tried the fresh lemon/lime juice, olive oil, S&P dressing that way you should.
