Disappearing Roasted Green Beans

About the Recipe: The first fresh green beans from the garden are tender and delicate. They require only light cooking, a splash of butter, and some salt and pepper. However, later in the year, they need a little more cooking help. When that happens, welcome some light roasting to reverse the aging process. Roasting creates browning and delicious flavor.  Add some sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and nuts, which adds texture and added flavor. You will be surprised how quickly they disappear from your dinner table.
