Multiply deliciousness by topping lightly steamed green beans with cherry tomatoes grilled until they char and pop.

Add garlic croutons for crunch and make every bite a flavour bomb. It tastes great warm or cold.

Ingredients

  • Green beans, rinsed and the tips snapped off
  • Cherry tomatoes, rinsed
  • Sourdough bread, slightly stale, cut into cubes
  • Olive oil
  • Chopped garlic
  • Sea salt
  • Oregano

Guidelines

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
  • Place bread cubes into a large bowl and douse generously with olive oil
  • Sprinkle bread cubes with oregano, garlic, and sea salt
  • Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet
  • Toast the bread cubes in the oven until golden (approximately 10-15 minutes)
  • Use the large bowl you used for the bread cubes and place the tomatoes in it. Toss them with the residual olive oil, oregano and sea salt, adding a bit more of each if necessary
  • When the bread cubes are toasted, remove them from the oven and put the tomatoes on the same baking sheet
  • Roast tomatoes 10-15 minutes until they start to soften or pop. For more char you can broil them lightly
