Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and toss to coat. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
While the tomatoes are roasting, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic oil. Sprinkle with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook the beans for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender but still crisp.
Once the tomatoes are roasted, carefully add them to the skillet with the green beans. Gently toss to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the dish. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve warm as a side dish to accompany your favorite protein or grain.
