In Season :: Roasted Yellow Beans

Last week we made a stop at a road side farm and picked up some fresh veggies, including these beautiful yellow beans. There they were in little green pints and straight away I knew I wanted to get some, because it’s the perfect season to enjoy them.  They remind me of my Grand-Maman’s garden. When I was a little girl, I would help her pick them for dinner and all the while, eat handfuls of them raw until my tummy hurt. But it was worth it. Their smell, their taste, their crunchy texture is all that is good and golden about homegrown vegetables.
The thing about fresh produce is that the flavor is already included. You needn’t do much more to enjoy nature’s bounty!  For this recipe, I used a small amount of coconut oil, black pepper, and herbes de provence. That’s it, that’s all, that’s yuuuuummmmy!

  3. I prefer yellow beans but usually I just steam them. I think I’ll try this recipe but I’m not sure about the coconut oil because I’ve never tried it before.
