Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy clean up.
In a large bowl combine green beans, sliced mushrooms, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss until vegetables are fully coated in sauce. Add additional oil and/or vinegar if mixture looks dry. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the vegetables onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
Place in oven and bake for 12 minutes, then toss. Roast for another 8-12 minutes, depending on how tender you want your beans to be.
Transfer beans to a platter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, drizzle with additional balsamic glaze, and serve hot.

A note on balsamic: An aged, high quality balsamic vinegar will be thick, syrupy, and slightly sweet. If you're using a really great balsamic, you don't need to buy a separate glaze or make the balsamic reduction. However, if you're using a cheaper balsamic to roast, you'll want to finish the dish with either a high quality vinegar or a balsamic reduction.
Green beans should be washed then dried thoroughly before combining with the olive oil. This allows them to get crispy instead of soggy!
Pre-sliced mushrooms are perfectly fine to use and a great shortcut.
Season the vegetables to taste before roasting. Sprinkle on some salt, then sample a bean or mushroom to make sure it has enough seasoning before you bake them.
