Super easy. Everything comes together right on the sheet pan. Coat the green beans and mushrooms with balsamic, olive oil, shallots, and garlic, then let your oven do the rest.
Healthy side dish. This is a healthy alternative to the traditional green bean casserole that graces so many Midwestern tables, and an easy weeknight side dish.
Whipped feta sauce. Oh boy, this is good stuff. The cool and creamy yogurt sauce with zingy feta is a fresh foil against roasted vegetables. You can serve it over the top of these (or any) vegetables or on the side for anyone who doesn’t do dairy.
Roasted green beans. During the roasting process, green beans evolve from bright and green to deep and earthy with balsamic-coated crispy parts. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and place for al dente green beans, but this isn’t one of them. Roast those babies until they’re slightly charred. You won’t regret it.
How to make roasted green beans and mushrooms with whipped feta
Preheat your oven to 450.
Clean the green beans and mushrooms and slice the mushrooms. Slice the shallot and mince the garlic. Spread green beans, mushrooms, shallots, and garlic onto a full size sheet pan or two half sheet pans. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Make whipped feta. In food processor or blender, whip the Greek yogurt, ½ cup feta, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Add a little bit of milk or water if you need to thin it to drizzle over the roasted vegetables.
Serve whipped feta over the vegetables or on the side. Top with crumbled feta.

Nordic Ware Full Sheet Pan
When you roast your vegetables, you want to give everything plenty of room to get brown and crispy. If they're overlapping and piled on top of each other, they're more likely to steam. To give everything plenty of breathing room, you can use two half sheet pans or one full sheet pan, like this one. This is the one I have.
Cuisinart Mini Food Processor
Whipping feta is super cinchy in this mini food processor. It's also great for making creamy dressings or sauces with things like avocados or fresh herbs, things you just can't break down with a whisk.
