50 Recipes: #6, roasted green beans with cashews

I've been way too busy to cook lately, so I'm running behind on the recipe front. We roast green beans all the time, but this is the first time I've added chopped shallots and cashews to the mix. The recipe instructions to roast for 25 minutes at 500 degrees seemed slightly insane, not to mention that my ancient oven doesn't make it past 475, so I put them in for 5 minutes at 375 while I finished the pork roast and cranked it to 475 for the last 20 minutes. Any longer than that, and the nuts would have been burnt to a crisp, since a couple were black when I removed them from the oven.

Temperature problems aside, the recipe is wonderful, and can probably be made with crappy looking supermarket green beans. Those are the ones we usually roast instead of steam anyway.
