Roasted Green Bean Salad
Description
This salad begins by preheating the oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Fresh green beans, trimmed and washed, are laid out evenly to avoid overcrowding, which helps them roast evenly. Thin onion slivers and whole cherry tomatoes are arranged over the beans, allowing their juices to meld during cooking. A light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper distributes flavor and helps caramelization without overpowering the vegetables’ natural taste.
Roasting at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes softens the green beans until just wilted, browns the onions lightly, and causes the cherry tomatoes to soften and burst, releasing sweetness into the dish. The mix can be served hot immediately, showcasing vibrant roasted flavors and varied textures from tender beans, sweet tomatoes, and softened onions.
Leftovers can cool and be tossed into other dishes such as pasta or potato salad for added vegetable content and flavor. This versatility makes the salad useful for meal prep or as a side component for main courses.
Ingredients
- ½ lb Green bean tops and strings removed and washed well, fresh

- 1 cup cherry tomato
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay green beans across parchment paper, making sure to not over crowd them.
- Top with thinly sliced onion and cherry tomatoes.
- Drizzle vegetables with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper (just a pinch- you can add more after cooking if you like your veggies saltier- but this method will bring out the natural salty flavors of the veggies so don't overdo it).

- Serve hot.
- Can also let cool and toss in a pasta or potato salad- or repurpose leftovers this way!
