Ingredients:
4-5 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 heaping tablespoon minced ginger root
2 Tsp olive oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 lb. thin French-style green beans, ends trimmed and cut in half
salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 450F/230C.
  • Mince 4-5 large garlic cloves, enough to make a heaping tablespoon of minced garlic.
  • Peel ginger root and finely mince enough ginger to make a heaping tablespoon of minced ginger.
  • Put olive oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a glass bowl or measuring cup and let it marinate while you prep vegetables. (This will slightly season the oil.)
  • Cut red bell pepper into fourths lengthwise, then remove seeds and trim any white pithy parts. Cut off rounded top and bottom parts to make it easier to cut even strips, then cut each piece of pepper into thin crosswise strips.
  • Trim ends of green beans and cut them in half. (To trim beans easily, loosely grab a handful and stand them up on the cutting board to line up the ends, trim, and then repeat with the other end.)
  • Put the green beans and red pepper strips into a medium-sized bowl and then toss with the olive oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
  • Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • Spread the vegetables out on a large baking sheet, arranging it so vegetables aren't crowded (as much as you can.)
  • Roast in pre-heated oven for 15 minutes, or until a few beans are starting to look browned and the veggies are tender-crisp. (But if you're busy making gravy, that's totally optional.)
    Beans take about 15 minutes to cook; they're done when a few beans are starting to look browned and they're tender-crisp.

I am always looking for new ideas for vegetables and this one sounds like one that my family would enjoy. This is the first time I see this particular one. It includes two vegetables that we always have on hand. I am just going to pick up the other ingredients I need and maybe try this one out this weekend.
 
My family would really like this one as well and it looks very simple to make. Green beans are one vegetable that everyone in my family can agree on sadly enough! I have been doing a lot of veggie roasting lately in an effort to eat more healthy.
 
This sounds really good. We love green beans around here. French style are my least favorite though. Can you use other styles?
 
I have never really done much with vegtables other then just warm them up as a side dish. This is really something new that I would like to try, I really like the french style beans, but could you use the regular cut green beans too? Great recipe.
