This easy-to-fix recipe turns homegrown green beans into something special. A tangy dill and Dijon vinaigrette coats the crisp-tender beans without overpowering them so the fresh-picked flavor comes through. —Kathy Shell, San Diego, California

Awesome! I've never roasted green beans before - and this turned out to be an excellent recipe. It took me 35 minutes to roast 2 pounds of beans. I washed them first, blotted them with a paper towel, then tossed them with olive oil/salt before roasting. The dressing was good too. This is a tasty recipe and it gets a 5-star review!

Zippy flavor, and you must like dill. We eat it as a warm side dish. We also make the sauce and use it on roasted brussel sprouts or asparagus. Definitely tasty and recommended.

Excellent recipe although I found the roasting time to be more like 50 minutes.
