Green Beans are simple and fresh, but there are a variety of ways to serve this vegetable to suit your pallet.Fresh & Steamed
Using a steamer basket over boiling water steam fresh green beans with the ends trimmed off for 5-10 minutes. Use less time for crisp beans, and more time for a softer side dish.
Canned with Onions & Vinegar
Heat one drained can of green beans (any kind will work) over medium heat. Add diced onions, minced garlic, and 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar. Cook until onions are soft.
Roasted with Grape Tomatoes
Snap ends off fresh green beans, and place on a non-stick baking sheet with grape tomatoes. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper & a dash of marjoram. Roast at 350 Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

I love them roasted with grape tomatoes, too - so yummy! This is my all-time favorite green bean recipe - green beans with new potatoes. We serve this at Easter. http://www.beckiswholelife.com/2011/06/17/green-beans-and-new-potatoes-plus-hot-running/
