This dish is easy to make, healthy, delicious, and the colors are beautiful. I made this for my son Danny and myself, and to my shock, Danny loved it, even though he doesn’t usually like string beans.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh string beans, ends trimmed
- about 8-10 plum tomatoes or 2 pints of grape or cherry tomatoes
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- about 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- olive oil (I use light)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a half sheet pan with aluminum foil. Cut plum tomatoes into medium size chunks, each about the size of a half of a cherry tomato. If using cherry or grape tomatoes, cut them in half. Place on prepared sheet pan, drizzle about 2 tablespoons oil over, sprinkle with salt and pepper and thyme. Toss with your hands to coat well with oil. Roast uncovered in oven for about 45 minutes. Then take out, and add the string beans. Drizzle a little more oil over beans and sprinkle beans with salt and pepper. Then toss gently. Roast for another 20-30 minutes until the beans start to brown on the ends. Serve.

I love quiche, but I don't often make it because, let's face it, it's not exactly healthy.
