Preparation

Step 1

Start with fresh whole beans, trimmed or frozen green beans. Cook in a small amount of boiling water - just enough to cover - for about 3 minutes
In a casserole combine green beans with fresh button mushrooms and sliced red sweet pepper. Toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to coat. Roast at 375 F for 15 minutes.
Sweeten onion wedges by sauteeing in olive oil and brown sugar until tender. Toss with dry bread crumbs to coat for classic onion ring crispiness.
For a note of tanginess, blend softened cream cheese with goat cheese.
Toss with warm vegetables and place in baking dish. Top with onions.
Bake in 400F oven 5-8 minutes just until heated through and onion rings are crispy.
Garnish with snipped fresh parsley.
