Cooking help!! Need a vegetarian side dish for approximately 20 people

I was just assigned this for the neighborhood progressive dinner.  The host suggested green beans but is open.  We have some neighbors that are vegetarian (so no green beans with bacon).  Also, this is the third course so I'm thinking crock pot or something I can mostly precook and then finish/warm at the end.  Could I boil/blanch green beans and then saute them right before we eat?

TYIA!

    Roasted winter squash? Or roasted Brussels sprouts or carrots? That would be easy to do ahead and reheat.

    I thought about squash but since they are also serving a heavy rice pilaf I think they wanted something a little more "veggie" than carb, if you know what I mean. I think that roasted balsamic green bean recipe looks good (I don't know how to tag people on this).  Do you think we could make it ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven for a minute or two to warm up and serve?

    Yes, you can make it ahead of time and then rewarm it. :)

    Great thanks.  I will confirm with the host that it works for her.  I noticed it said to use flash frozen instead of fresh green beans.  Have you ever tried fresh?  Thanks so much!

    You can make this in 2 9X13 pans. All the veggies can be precut and seasoned and baked the day of https://kitchentandav.blogspot.com/2013/05/vegetable-tian.html

    The green beans were a hit DragonBlood13.  Thanks so much!  Even my daughter was sneaking them.
