Roasted Green Beans And Tomatoes
Description
Roasted Green Beans And Tomatoes blends fresh green beans and ripe cherry or grape tomatoes, roasted at a high temperature to soften the beans and concentrate the tomato flavor. The green beans, preferably Haricot Verts for their tenderness, gain a slight crispness on the edges while remaining tender inside. Roasting with olive oil, salt, and pepper enhances their natural taste. Meanwhile, balsamic vinegar is reduced to a syrupy glaze that adds a sharp, sweet acidity complementing the vegetables. A final sprinkle of Parmesan cheese introduces a nutty, umami element, creating a well-rounded dish.
The dish is served immediately to maintain the balsamic glaze's shine and the green beans' texture. It pairs well as a side to meats or grain dishes and adds color and brightness to the plate.
Using trimmed green beans ensures a cleaner bite without tough ends. For alternatives, regular green beans or cut larger tomatoes can be roasted similarly, adjusting cooking times. Frozen beans should be thawed before roasting to prevent excess moisture.
Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans trimmed, I recommend Haricot Verts
- 1 pint tomatoes cherry or grape
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ c balsamic vinegar
- ½ c Parmesan Cheese vegan or regular
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- In a large bowl add green beans, tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Arrange on a parchment lined baking dish and roast for 17-20 minutes until green beans are tender.
- Meanwhile, add Balsamic vinegar in a small sauce pan and cook over medium low heat until it reduces by half and slightly thickens.
- Remove green beans from the oven, sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with Balsamic glaze.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Haricot Verts or French green beans for the most tender and flavorful result, but regular green beans can be substituted.
- Trim both ends of the green beans to remove tough parts before roasting.
- Cherry or grape tomatoes are preferred, but plum tomatoes like Roma can be cut into pieces and used.
- Frozen green beans should be thawed briefly before roasting to avoid sogginess.
- Regular Parmesan or vegan alternatives can be used depending on dietary preference.
