2. Roast, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes or until beans and beets are tender, stirring once or twice and adding walnuts during the last 10 to 15 minutes of roasting.

3. To serve, transfer roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle with cheese.
From the Test KitchenVariations:

Out of walnuts? Try slivered almonds or coarsely chopped hazelnuts (filberts). Not feeling feta? Use crumbled goat cheese (chevre) or shredded sharp cheddar cheese instead.
