Today we have prepared a baked recipe for you green beans, which in the past was called: green beans on a baking sheet. Green beans are one of the most important ingredients of Mediterranean and Balkan cuisine and are prepared very often. In Greece, this dish is called Fasolakia. The secret to preparing this recipe is slow simmering and baking in the oven. In Greece, crumbled feta cheese is added as a side dish to ready-made green beans, and in the Italian version, crumbled ricotta cheese.
This dish is mostly prepared in the summer months when green beans are abundant and when they are at their peak of ripeness with tomatoes. However, since you can also buy frozen green beans in any well-stocked store, this will help you enjoy this dish at other times of the year, when fresh green beans are not available.
This recipe is lean, although it can also be greasy, if you use lard to prepare it.
