Roasted Green Beans

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh green beans (washed and trimmed)
• 4 slices bacon
• 1/8 tsp coarse ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400˚F. Spread the green beans on a large rimmed sheet pan.

2. 2

   Cut four slices of bacon into small pieces and add them to the green beans on the sheet pan.

3. 3

   Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes, until tender and browned, stirring every 5 minutes so that the green beans are coated in bacon grease. (You can cook it longer to brown it more, but watch it carefully so that it doesn't burn.)

4. 4

   Season with pepper (and salt, if desired.)
