Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms

Cremini mushrooms are a surprisingly good source of niacin. Roasting is a great way to cook green beans, giving them crisp browned edges and intensifying their flavor.

Ingredients

• 6  cups  quartered cremini mushrooms (about 1 pound)
• 1  cup  thinly sliced shallots
• 5  garlic cloves, chopped

• 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh thyme
• 1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4  teaspoon  salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°.

Combine first 4 ingredients on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with thyme and pepper. Toss well to coat. Bake at 450° for 30 minutes or until beans are lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt; toss to combine.
