Deconstructed Rice Bowl with Roasted Green beans

Category:

One cool spring evening I set out to make supper.  WHAT?  Not one fresh vegetable was to be found!  Whoa!  I really didn’t want to go to the store.  We wanted something easy and Liesl reeeeeally wanted white rice (she is kind of obsessed with white rice).  So, I feel like if we are going to eat white rice we really ought to have some kind of veg.  I checked the freezer and had an old bag of frozen green beans.

How do you resurrect old freezer burnt green beans you ask?  I will tell you.  You can roast them just like fresh ones!!! Yay!

I have never tried this before but I thought it just might work.  Now, truly, fresh are better but in a pinch this was great!

 

Old frozen veg is better than no veg at all!

Toss the beans with some (1 tblsp per bag) olive oil and salt then spread on a baking pan

Bake for 20 minutes at 425degrees.

Cook up some rice (any kind you like)

I pulled out some dry roasted peanuts, some black sesame seeds, salt and some seaweed for fun.  Done! and Yum!
