ROASTED ZESTY PARMESAN GREEN BEANS



Roasted Zesty Parmesan Green Beans image

From my blog, http://validgeek.com - Ah yes, the green bean. What a wonderfully green vegetable! Unfortunately a lot of people think of them as bland or boring and think of green bean casserole... why not spice it up?! These are a little zesty and stay crispy since we're not smothering them in liquid... and the best part is, if you're on WeightWatchers - these are only 2 PointsPlus per serving!
