This great-tasting, elegant Italian side dish can do double-duty as the base for a main that features lean proteins such as chicken breast, salmon, or shrimp.

Ingredients

Grape tomatoes

4 cup(s), red and/or yellow

Extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp, divided

Dried thyme

1 tsp

Kosher salt

¾ tsp, or coarse sea salt, divided

Black pepper

¼ tsp, divided

Garlic

1 clove(s), minced

Canned white beans

2 cup(s), rinsed and drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
