GREEN BEANS WITH ROASTED RED BELL PEPPERS
Green beans are such a versatile vegetable. I love coming up with different flavor combinations for them. They steam quickly, so they are always a great throw-together side dish. I love jarred roasted red peppers for the same reason-they are a flavorful, convenient ingredient to have on hand. So it made sense to combine the two to create this simple and tasty side dish. Note that, as the recipe is written, these green beans are very crisp, which is how I like them. Feel free to cook them longer if you like softer beans.

Steps:
- Place a steamer insert in a large pot and add enough water to reach just below the insert. Place the pot over high heat, cover with a lid, and bring the water to a boil. Add the green beans and re-cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly ajar. Steam the beans for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender. Drain them well.
- When the beans are almost done, place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic begins to soften. Add the bell peppers, followed by the green beans. Toss the mixture 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
- Follow the directions above, except instead of cooking the beans in a steamer, add 3 tablespoons water and the green beans to a medium microwave-safe bowl or dish. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the beans are crisp-tender. Drain them well.

Tips:
- Choose the right bell peppers. Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have a smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are wrinkled or have blemishes.
- Prep the bell peppers properly. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Then, slice the peppers into thin strips.
- Blanch the green beans. Blanching the green beans will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch the green beans, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the green beans and rinse them with cold water.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened. This will make it easier to spread on the bell pepper slices.
- Use a variety of fillings. In addition to cream cheese, you can also use other fillings such as hummus, pesto, or guacamole.
- Be creative with your toppings. Once you have rolled up the bell peppers, you can top them with a variety of things such as grated cheese, chopped nuts, or crumbled bacon.

Red pepper green bean roll-ups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal. With so many different ways to make them, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
