Steamed Green Beans with Roasted Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 4 cups tomatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Mix tomatoes, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a large bowl; spread into a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Roast tomatoes in the preheated oven until they are lightly flecked with brown spots and the garlic cloves are tender, about 45 minutes; remove from oven after 20 minutes and mash lightly with a spatula.

About 5 minutes before tomatoes are done, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes. Place steamed green beans into a serving dish and combine with roasted tomatoes to serve.
