Roasted Green Beans and Tomatoes Topped with Feta

by Pam on May 13, 2014

I find myself wanting to roast veggies before summer hits and it gets too hot. To me, roasting is the best way to bring out the flavors in most any vegetable. I love the texture and sweetness of roasted vegetables. Tomatoes are one of my very favorites roasted and so are green beans so I decided to roast them together then topped them with some creamy feta cheese. The combination is always delicious and never lasts long on our table. Quick, simple, healthy, and delicious.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil (for easier clean up) then coat it with cooking spray.

Spread the trimmed green beans and tomatoes on the baking sheet then drizzle with olive oil and season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Toss to coat evenly.

Place into the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven then add the minced garlic and gently toss to coat the veggies in the garlic. Return to the oven and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and place onto a serving plate. Sprinkle the top with feta cheese and serve. Enjoy.

Southern-Style Green Beans – Slow Beans for Fast Times

One of the sadder side effects of the American culinary renaissance
we’ve enjoyed over the last thirty or forty years, has been the chronic
under-cooking of green vegetables. Sure, there was a time when we cooked
everything too long, but now, if it’s not bright green and still crispy, it’s
considered ruined.

That’s why every once and a while you have to enjoy
something like these slow-cooked, southern-style green beans. These beans are
cooked forever in a bacon-spiked, aromatic broth, and when they’re finally
done, you’re almost shocked at how good they are. It seems so wrong, yet tastes so right.

I think two hours is perfect, but if your beans are
fatter/thinner, you’ll have to adjust the time. What you’re looking for is
something that literally melts in your mouth. Vibrant, quickly blanched green beans are many things, but “melt in your mouth” isn’t one of
them. I hope you give these a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients for 6 portions:
2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 handful sliced bacon (6 oz)

1 sliced onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup tomato sauce

3 cups chicken broth

salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste

Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles

Pretty little bundles of bacon wrapped French “green beans” known as Haricot verts which are longer and thinner than the typical American green bean. Of course, American green beans will work just fine here too.

As a kid, I never liked green beans because the only way I tasted them was boiled and overcooked. As I got older, I learned that I actually enjoy them if they are prepared right. Fresh green beans are a must for me, and I like them roasted or sauteed until tender and crisp. Add a little bacon to them and you can’t go wrong.

These are really easy to make, I served them as a side with Petite Turkey Meatloaf^[1] for dinner, but this would also make an elegant side dish for Easter dinner if you double the recipe. You can prep them ahead of time, then roast them just before serving.
