Directions
1.
In a shallow roasting pan combine beans, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss mixture until beans are evenly coated. Spread into a single layer.
2.
Roast in a 450 degree F oven for 8 minutes. Stir in squash and roast for 5 to 7 minutes more or until vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
3.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring the balsamic vinegar to boiling over medium-high heat; reduce heat. Boil gently about 5 minutes or until reduced by half (vinegar will thicken slightly).
4.
Drizzle the vinegar over roasted vegetables; toss until vegetables are evenly coated. Makes 4 to 6 side-dish servings.
