Roasted String Bean Side with Walnuts and Bread Crumbs

Breadcrumbs are the go to ingredient in an Italian household.  Breadcrumbs on chicken, eggplant, asparagus, dandelion (yes, we eat dandelion haha), and the list goes on.  Thank goodness there are gluten free breadcrumbs!  This warm string bean side is sooooo easy and it is fancy for company too.
