I saw these beautiful purple beans in the farmer's market yesterday, and was inspired to adapt my summer Roasted Eggplant Tortellini Salad into a fall version. Roasted beans are tossed with other fall goodies - toasted pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries - and dressed with a maple syrup-mustard vinaigrette. It's a super easy take-along to a party or for a weeknight main or side.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb green or purple beans, rinsed with ends trimmed
  • 1 large red onion, chopped coarsely
  • 3 Tbsp EVOO, divided
  • 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 8-9 oz packages tortellini (vegan, if you choose a non-cheese version)
  • 3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 2 Tbsp real maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Toss together beans, onion, 1 Tbsp EVOO, rosemary and SnP in a large bowl. Roast for 15 minutes, remove and let cool.
  3. Meanwhile heat a large pot of water. When it comes to a boil, add tortellini and cook to al dente - 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, toss together parsley, cranberries, seeds, syrup, mustard, vinegar, garlic and remaining 2 Tbsp EVOO.
  5. Add beans and pasta, and toss until combined. You can eat immediately, but it's better the next day.
