CHARRED GREEN BEANS

I tend to get in a rut with vegetables, either steaming or sauteing them.  I saw this recipe in a "light" magazine so I tried them.  They are quick, tasty, and also very low-cal.  I will make them even when we are not dieting.

1 lb. fresh green beans
6 smashed garlic cloves
¼ c. water
1 TB olive oil
2 t. whole-grain mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to  450 degrees.  Toss beans on a baking sheet with the garlic, water, and olive oil.  Roast about 20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and slightly charred.  Toss with the mustard, salt and pepper.
