Garlic-roasted green beans and cherry tomatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any meal. This recipe combines the robust flavors of garlic, basil, and black pepper with the natural sweetness of green beans and cherry tomatoes, creating a flavorful and aromatic dish. It's easy to prepare and makes an excellent accompaniment to your favorite main courses.
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the oven is at the right temperature when you're ready to roast the vegetables.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter to a small microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave or on the stovetop. Pour the melted butter over the green beans.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, sugar, dried basil, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper over the green beans. Toss the beans gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning and butter.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Add the tomatoes to the bowl with the seasoned green beans and gently stir to combine.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned green beans and cherry tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the green beans are tender and the tomatoes are slightly blistered and caramelized. Stir the vegetables halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the garlic-roasted green beans and cherry tomatoes to a serving platter. Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy side dish.
Tips:
- For a more intense garlic flavor, use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.
- You can substitute olive oil for butter if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- To ensure even roasting, spread the vegetables in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for an extra burst of freshness.
Garlic-roasted green beans and cherry tomatoes are a simple yet flavorful side dish that brings out the best in fresh vegetables. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made with minimal ingredients and effort. Whether you're preparing a weeknight dinner or hosting a special meal, this dish is sure to impress with its delicious combination of flavors and textures.
