Ingredients for Baked Green Beans With Feta Cheese

  • Fresh Green Beans
  • White Onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 4 ounces feta cheese
  • Fresh Basil
  • Fresh Oregano

How to Make Baked Green Beans With Feta Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of trimmed green beans, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Pour the green bean mixture into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Arrange 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes over the beans.
  4. Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese evenly over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
  5. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and the feta is slightly golden.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
