This recipe gives you all the flavors of green bean casserole but it’s much simpler to prepare (not to mention lighter, fresher and more modern). We added a touch of creme fraiche to bring a richness to the roasted vegetables. A small amount adds big flavor. Lightly toasted nuts have much more flavor than raw ones. It takes just a few minutes to toast them. Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat or on a sheet pan in a 350ºF oven.
