Roasted Green Beans (Fasolakia)

Roasted Green Beans (Fasolakia)

greekk6bg
This traditional vegetarian dish is served as main course. It includes potatoes and therefore, is quite filling as a stand-alone meal. There is a another version that includes meat as well. However, this version is only the green beans. Instead of stewing on the stove top, I have adapted this recipe to roasting in the oven. This is another go-to side dish for my Greek keto lifestyle.

Notes

I choose green beans that don’t require me to remove the string. Usually the French pre-bagged green beans are like that (Hericots Verts). You can also use the flat pole beans, which are also widely used throughout Greece for this dish. I also use a round clay pot, called a Youvetsi, and then serve it directly from the clay pot. But a normal cookie/baking pan will do.
