Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions
- 300 grams green beans, trimmed
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, blanched green beans, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
In a greased baking dish, spread the caramelized onions evenly across the bottom. Layer the green beans and cherry tomato mixture on top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are bubbling slightly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Caramelized Onion Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Tian!
