Balsamic Green Beans and Pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup pure
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces beans green and yellow
- 2 each sweet bell peppers thinly sliced lengthwise
- 13 cup pine nuts toasted
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Preheat oven to 400F (or see Grill Variation, below).
- To prepare packets, start with four 20- to 24-inch-long pieces of parchment paper or foil.
- Fold in half crosswise.
- With the parchment or foil folded, draw half a heart shape on one side as you would if you were making a Valentine.
- Use scissors to cut out the heart shape.
- Open up the heart.
- Mix oil, mustard, syrup, garlic and salt in a large bowl.
- Add beans and peppers; toss.
- Place one-fourth of the vegetable mixture (about 1 cup) on one side of each open heart fairly close to the crease and leaving at least a 1-inch boarder around the edges for folding.
- Sprinkle with pine nuts.
- Close the packet to cover the ingredients.
- Starting at the top, seal the packet by folding the edges together in a series of small, tight folds.
- Twist the tip of the packet and tuck it underneath to help keep the packet closed.
- Place the packets on a large rimmed baking sheet (packets may overlap slightly).
- Bake until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Let packets rest unopened for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the vegetables with vinegar just before serving.
