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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
