A delightful and healthy side dish featuring roasted green beans and a fresh cherry tomato medley.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal roasting results.
Spread the green beans on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Ensure the green beans are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast the green beans in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stirring halfway prevents sticking and promotes even browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently to avoid crushing the tomatoes.
Once the green beans are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Use a spatula to scrape any caramelized bits from the baking sheet.
Top the green beans with the tomato medley and serve warm.
For a gourmet touch, garnish with a sprig of fresh basil.
