Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 yellow onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Parmesan cheese or crispy bacon (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread the green beans on a sheet pan and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast in the oven until slightly browned, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the beans are roasting, caramelize the onions in a pan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
- If the pan dries out, add a splash of water or broth.
- Toss the roasted green beans with the caramelized onions.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with Parmesan cheese or crispy bacon.
Notes
Caramelizing onions takes time, but the depth of flavor it adds is worth every minute. Make extra onions for other meals!
