Roasted Green Beans with Red Onion and Walnuts

By norsegal8

An aluminum foil liner prevents burning on dark nonstick baking sheets. When using baking sheets with a light finish, foil is not required, but we recommend it for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
• 2 medium cloves garlic, thin sliced
• 1 pound green beans, stem ends snapped off
• 1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (toasted)
• Salt and ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine vinegar, honey, thyme, and garlic in small bowl; set aside.

2. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; spread beans and onion wedges on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil; using hands, toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, toss to coat, and distribute in even layer. Roast 10 minutes.

3. Remove baking sheet from oven. Using tongs, coat beans and onion evenly with vinegar/honey mixture; redistribute in even layer. Continue roasting until onions and beans are dark golden brown in spots and beans have started to shrivel, 10 to 12 minutes longer.

4. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and toss well to combine. Transfer to serving dish, sprinkle with walnuts, and serve.
