Description
A flavorful dish featuring butter beans and roasted cherry tomatoes, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups canned butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the tomatoes are well coated.
- Spread the tomato mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and caramelized.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter beans and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and add them to the saucepan with the butter beans. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and gently stir to combine.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the dish before serving for a spicy kick.
- Substitute butter beans with cannellini beans or chickpeas for a different texture and taste.
