Green beans with roasted garlic


This is a very simple side dish, but so tasty with it's combination of basic ingredients. This is especially good if you are cooking something in the oven anyway and you can just place several cloves of garlic in alongside whatever you are baking or roasting.

What you will need
Green beans
6-8 cloves of fresh garlic (possible a bulb)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Flaked almonds

Simply steam the green beans until cooked. Roast the garlic cloves (or ideally bulb) at 180 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

Once the garlic has roasted, squezze out the softened core and add to the cooked beans. Season with plenty of salt and pepper and drizzled over some olive oil.

In a frying pan, lightly toast the almond flakes and then serve these on top of the beans.

I had these for lunch this weekend with my roast butternut squash and feta pie. See here.
