Roasted Green Beans

With loads of out-of-this world string beans available, we've been looking for the most delicious ways to prepare them. Here's one way that will blow your taste buds away.

You are going to love this string bean recipe from IG's @slowroasted available at theslowroasteditalian.com

The recipe calls for green beans, but it would also look incredible with a mix of yellow wax and dragon tongue beans!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed with ends trimmed

  • 1/4 large red onion, sliced very thin

  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • pinch of red pepper flakes

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  2. Rinse the green beans and pat dry. Trim the ends from the green beans by lining up several in a row and then cutting the ends off all at once.

  3. Place green beans, red onion, sliced garlic, and halved tomatoes on a sheet pan and spread into a single layer. Do not overcrowd.

  4. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the vegetables.

  5. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

  6. Toss the vegetables to distribute the oil and seasonings.

  7. Roast for about 14 minutes or until the vegetables are beginning to caramelize.

  8. Serve immediately

Enjoy!
