Simple Roasted Parmesan Green Beans

Who would have thought such a simple dish would be so scrumptious. We babysit on Monday nights for a friend so our dinners always have to be quick and simple, but I still want them to be healthy and nutritious. I tried these out last night with some pan roasted pork chops with bbq sauce drizzled over them and some steamed mixed veggies. It was a perfect dinner that only took about 10-15 minutes to prepare and serve.
I love how these veggies get really nice and roasted but still offer great flavor. Try them out and let me know if you like them.
