Roasted Green Beans with Peppers & Onion

Roasted Green Beans with Peppers & Onion (from Kraft Recipes, Servings: 6, Total Time: 50 minutes)

Ingredients
·         1 lb. whole green beans, trimmed
·         1 each red and yellow pepper, cut into thin strips
·         1 large onion, cut into thin strips
·         ½ cup  Light Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
·         ½ cup Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Directions
1.)    Heat oven to 400°F.
2.)    Toss vegetables with dressing in large roasting pan.
3.)    Bale 30 min. or until vegetables are tender, stirring after 15 min.
4.)    Sprinkle with cheese; bake 2 to 3 min. or until melted.


I made this for Thanksgiving at my mother’s. I used a sweet balsamic dressing from Kraft and it imparted an excellent flavor onto the vegetables.  A sweet/sour taste since it was a vinaigrette.  My family really enjoyed this as well.  I used frozen green beans, thawed, and tossed them with the rest of the veggies.  I think that this dish could honestly do without the cheese (when using the sweet balsamic) – I don’t feel that it really added anything. Maybe with regular balsamic it would.  The veggies stayed crisp and worked well with a side dish of mashed potatoes.  A great side dish to Thanksgiving dinner (and my Tofurky).  Enjoy!
