Ingredients
1 pound haricot verts (French green beans), trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup pitted kalamata olives, drained and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Heat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the trimmed haricot verts in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast for 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beans are tender-crisp with light brown spots on their surface.
While the beans roast, combine the chopped kalamata olives and white balsamic vinegar in a small bowl, stirring to blend.
Transfer the roasted beans to a serving bowl or platter. Pour the olive-vinegar mixture over the warm beans and gently toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
Comments
Haricot verts are a real second stop—most Charlotte chains stock regular green beans, but the thin French variety requires a trip to Harris Teeter or Kroger's premium sections, adding time to your weeknight shop. The remaining ingredients are pantry staples, and at roughly $2.50 to $3.00 per serving, it's a reasonable side dish. The 20-minute estimate is honest for roasting and vinaigrette, though you should add 5 minutes for trimming beans if you buy whole. This is a polished side that reheats well and suits a family dinner, but the ingredient hunt makes it better suited to planned meals than spontaneous weeknight scrambles.
