Roasted Spicy Green Beans with Tomatoes with Parmesan Cheese

Serves 4 in about 20 minutes. Olive oil goes in first, and garlic powder finishes the pot.

Ingredients

• 12 oz french green beans (haricot vert) or use any fresh green beans
• 9 oz grape tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes
• 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more for spicier
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Method

1. Warm oven to 425° F.
2. Rinse the green beans and pat dry with a paper towel. Set on a baking sheet with the tomatoes.
3. Tip in olive oil over vegetables and sprinkle with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
4. With your hands, gently toss the vegetables with the oil and spices to coat all of them and spread out in a single layer.
5. Cook for 10 minutes, then stir and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the green beans are a little charred and the tomatoes are soft and slightly blistered.
6. Plate hot or at room temperature. Garnish with the parmesan cheese.
