It was really simple, and with the addition of salt and pepper it achieved four-star status, though I had to think about that one.

Ese were good, but they definitely needed some st and pepper. I added cracked pepper, salt, and some garlic salt and my family liked them. I may try balsamic vinegar next time for something different. I also think I'll skip the boiling part.

I was looking for a copycat recipe to something I was served at Moro's Table in Skaneateles. Comes close, and very delicious!

Did not boil the green beans prior to roasting them. Turned out crunchy with delightful flavor.

These were good, however I don't see the need to cook them for so long before roasting them. Like others have said roasting is the cooking method. I don't want to cook something before I cook it. KWIM?

Pretty good. I left out the red wine vinegar. You definitely don't need to boil a vegetable before you roast it. The roasting *is* the cooking process. You can take any veggie, like carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, etc. and put it straight into the oven to roast.

This recipe was a great gourmet side dish to prepare. The simplicity of a tablespoon of red wine vinegar really brought out the taste of the green beans. Exceptional!

Sorry, this wasn't very good. I followed the cooking instructions to the minute, and the green beans ended up overcooked, limp and grayish. I really think the boiling is unnecessary. I have to admit that I had some reservations about the double-cooking from the get-go, but I liked the idea of the onions and vinegar and I have this thing about making recipes as written the first time. I still think that roasting (completely raw) green beans and onions with a little olive oil, s&p and vinegar would make a delicious side dish, but it would also be a completely different dish from this one. Sorry - two stars for the idea, though!
