Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds string beans
  • 2 large shallots cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Toss the beans and shallots with the oil and salt on a baking sheet. Roast, stirring twice during roasting, until the shallots have caramelized and the beans are beginning to brown and wilt, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper and serve hot.
  • Substitute asparagus and roast about 10 minutes.
