Green Beans and Tomatoes is an easy and delicious veggie dish to make! I absolutely love the flavor the buttery garlicky tomato sauce gives off – serve over your favorite protein or by itself as a side dish!

What I like about this dish is how easy it is! It takes about 10 minutes, and I absolutely love the flavor!

Green Beans

Green beans have a bunch of health benefits! It is packed with Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Fiber, and Manganese which is essential for bone and metabolism.

When shopping for green beans, make sure you pick out ones that are bright green which indicates freshness. You also want them to be tender and firm, not limp or too soft. Of course also avoid brown spots as they are a sign that the green beans are aging.

I usually do a short cut and buy the prewashed and trimmed ones in the grocery! It’s a bit more expensive but then I don’t have to worry about the extra steps of washing and trimming them.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are one of my favorite ingredients! Funnily they’re scientifically actually a fruit, but in cooking we usually use it as a veggie.

When you are shopping for tomatoes, make sure they’re dark red, as that means they are more ripe. Avoid any brown spots, and also avoid the ones that are super firm – as those might not be ripe yet.

I recommend adding the sugar as it balances out the sour of the tomatoes, but if you are on a diet where you have to avoid it, you can skip it or add a diet friendly sweetener.
