Easy summer recipes: Roasted Green Beans

A great side for a light fish or chicken dinner in the summer. My mom found these beautiful green beans at the farmer's market and I had to cook them for dinner. They were so sweet on their own- you can't always say the same for supermarket produce.

If you're already using the oven to make dinner, then pop these in there too. I love when dinner can be baked in the oven and not on the stove top, makes clean up a breeze.
