Roasted Sweet Potato and Green Beans . . . With Shaved Cheese and Pecans

Simple-to-prepare food provides relaxing dining, and that’s a good thing for everyone. This dish is so versatile it can blur the line between a side dish and a main dish. The sweet potatoes are chock full of vitamins C and A, and the crisp green beans are blanketed with folate and vitamin K. Top it all off with gorgeous shaved cheese and seasonal pecans and fall into an easy dish to serve that comforts every soul it touches.

Ingredients:

3 medium sweet potatoes (various colors are nice - blue, orange and Japanese white) 1/4 cup avocado oil 1/2 cup pine nuts or chopped pecans 1/2 pounds green beans, tops trimmed or baby spinach if desired 1 cup shaved (with a vegetable peeler) manchego or other tasty hard cheese (parmesan or midnight moon goat are yummy, too) Sea salt (I love Maldon sea salt) and ground black pepper to taste

Dressing:

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 garlic clove crushed

Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake at 375F for about 20-25 minutes until just slightly tender. Remove from oven and remove skins immediately and reserve for crisping. All of the following steps can be done in advance and set aside hours before serving. Cut each potato into pieces about 1 inch long and toss in 2 tbsp avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper and place on baking parchment paper and roast in a 400F oven for about 13-15 minutes until lightly browned. Then toss 1 tbsp of oil with the skins and cook another 5-7 minutes until lightly browned. Blend all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender or shake. Saute beans in remaining oil on high heat for a couple minutes until slightly cooked and season with salt and pepper.

To serve, heat the potatoes and beans at 375F for about 7-10 minutes and then arrange on a platter, drizzle with the dressing, sprinkle with the cheese, nuts, and crisped sweet potato skins. Serves four to six.
