Roasted Green Beans With Garlic and Pine Nuts

Submitted by Kozmic Blues

"I really LOVE green beans, and this recipe is yet another tasty way to serve them. I belive the recipe called for whole garlic cloves, but I like to smash them with the back of my knife to 1) get the peels off and 2) release some of that wonderful garlic flavor. I enjoy these beans right out the oven as is, but if you're like my husband, go ahead and add the couple tbsp of the vinegar of your choice before serving. These taste great right from the oven, or at room temp."

Excellent green bean recipe enjoyed by all. I used this season's fresh garlic - it is so mellow and light in the flavor. Did not use balsamic vinegar - I love it but other diner not fond of any thing on the veggies - she loved this recipe thanks Kozmic Blues for another winner
