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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the tomatoes are roasting, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish to accompany your favorite protein or grain.
