This is pretty good and very simple. I like to add fresh pesto also at the end which just lifts the flavors even more! It is also lovely with the addition of some toasted nuts such as walnuts. -
I love roasted green beans and cherry tomatoes; however, they take about 20 minutes to cook in the oven and I didn't want to heat up the oven. This are a very nice sub. The green beans were fresh from the garden. This is a recipe that I am sure to repeat often. -
Yum! I used some green beans I had cooked similar to this recipe. Just added the cherry tomatoes and the garlic along with the balsamic vinegar. It was delicious. I actually had this for breakfast! Thanks Bev!

Really nice combination of flavours. The cherry tomatoes and vinegar are a great way to jazz up green beans. Thanks for a great side dish! -
YUMMY! I love fresh green beans and love all tomatoes so this combination was a "must try" for me. My husband and I loved the flavors the garlic and balsamic vinegar added to this dish, thanks for posting!! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
