Video de la receta
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃)
- Cut the ends of the green beans, place them in a steaming basket, and steam them for 2-3 minutes, no longer. Rinse them in cold water and set aside.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes and place them in a steaming basket. Steam them until they are easily pierced with a fork but not very soft. Let them cool and once they are cold enough to handle them, cut them in half. Set aside.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Trim the ends of the mushroom stems and cut the mushrooms in half. Cut the onion into small wedges and combine with the mushrooms. Place them both on the lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt and 1 tbsp of thyme, and toss to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables in an even layer and bake for about 30 min, or until the vegetables begin to brown on the edges.
- Carefully remove the tray from the oven, add the potatoes, and carefully rearrange the veggies in a single layer.
- Continue to roast for about 7-8 minutes.
- Remove the tray from the oven again and add the green beans. Add the remaining fresh thyme and continue roasting for 7-8 minutes longer, or until the vegetables are brown and tender.
- Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the vegetables to a serving dish and enjoy.
