Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms

Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms – a nutty and crunchy side dish, a perfect accompaniment to your Thanksgiving turkey.

I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is this weekend, well at least for us Canadian folks. Thanksgiving, then Halloween, then Christmas. Where has the year gone? I remember when I was a kid my mom used to say to me all the time, “Wait till you’re older, and you’ll see that the days will go by faster and faster.”. I had no idea what she was talking about at the time because summers used to seem like they would last forever, semesters at school seemed to never end. But now I know, the days are flying by, and so are the years.

Enough reminiscing though, if you want to call it that. However, since Thanksgiving is soon approaching, I thought I’d share a yummy side dish to go along with that turkey, these roasted green beans with mushrooms. I made this recipe last year around the same time, so it seems like it’s the right time of year for these types of side dishes.

This recipe is fabulous. I would even eat these veggies as a snack. The string beans are somewhat nutty in flavor, and there’s nothing I love more than roasted mushrooms, they are crazy good.
