Does anyone have a recipe? It can't include dairy, bacon, thyme, basil, or
tarragon. I can use olive oil or if necessary, Nucoa margarine. For my
family the plainer the better. I had some in a restaurant that I loved but
they were loaded with black pepper. I can maybe sneak a little pepper by on
them but they do love the plain, bland foods. *sigh*

Not a recipe, but take whole, fresh string beans adn snip off the stem
endput in a roasting pan, oiled with olive ile and roll the beans around
in it. Add the seasonings of your choice, salt, pepper, garlic are
particularly good. roast in the oven , turning them at oeast once until
they are done, they may look a bit wrinkled or brown, but done cook them
to death or burn them. try about a 375 oven temp. If you like when done
pour a litttle balsamic vinegar on them, or serve that on the side for
your bland lovers.

I would recommend lining a shallow pan with aluminum foil, set the oven to
475 or 500F, and putting the lined pan in the oven to preheat. Meanwhile,
prepare the beans as Wendy suggests, but toss them with the olive oil, salt
(preferable coarse salt like sea salt or kosher), and pepper/garlic in a
bowl or serving dish. When the oven and pan are hot, quickly spread the
beans on the preheated pan and roast. You'll hear them sizzle as soon as
they hit the pan. If you have too many beans to form a single layer, use two
roasting pans.

You can do the same thing with sliced red peppers, thickly sliced onions,
halved brussels sprouts, or any othe vegetable you want to roast. Preheating
the roasting pan works MUCH better. I just picked up that tip in the last
year.

Thanks! Sadly I won't be making them again. I like them but I was the only
one who like them. Apparently my family only seems to like canned
vegetables. But I tried.

Julie, you can make some for yourself if they work with your gasroparesis
, just make fewer beans and any left-overs work well as a simple salad the
next day either cold or room temperature with just a drizzle of red win ,
balsamic or whatever vinegar you prefer.
