  11. Preheat the oven to 425 deg F.

  13. Green beans - Cook in a steam bag for 3 minutes with 1/4 tsp salt or drop in boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender crisp. Dump them into cold water. Set aside.
  14. Edamame - Measure out the frozen edamame beans to a steam bag & steam for 4 minutes or drop in boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender crisp. Drop into a bowl with cold water. Set aside.
  15. Mushrooms- In a saute pan, add 1 tsp olive oil & heat on medium high heat. Once the oil is fuming, add 1 tsp butter. As soon as it melts, add the mushrooms & saute for 2-3 minutes or until the mushrooms have browned but not completely wilted. Remove immediately to a bowl & set aside.
  16. Beets - Without cutting or peeling at this point, steam the beets in a steam bag for 9 minutes or drop in boiling water for approx 10 minutes or until tender.
  17. Croutons - Using a serrated bread knife, cut 3-4 1/2" thick slices. Cut in 1/2" x 1" lengths. In a microwave safe dish, melt the butter. Pour all over the cut bread & toss.
