Ingredients

5 plum tomatoes, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
1/4 pound haricots verts (thin French green beans) or small green beans, trimmed

1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
a heaping 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450° F. and lightly grease a baking sheet.
