Oven Roasted Lima Beans with

Garlic
Author: Trish Cowper
Recipe type: Side DIsh
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
300g package of frozen lima beans
4-5 whole cloves of garlic, skin left on
1 tablespoon of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

salt

Instructions

Mix all until very well blended.

Refrigerate overnight so

flavors meld. Do you know
another name for this? We
have a prize for you if you
post the answer on
www.nutriservice.org.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

1. In a medium casserole dish or glass baking dish dump the package of
frozen limas (it's okay if a little bit of water or ice crystals stick to the
beans). And yes, go ahead and use them straight out of the freezer.
2. Toss in the garlic cloves and drizzle everything with the olive oil. Toss it
up good so that everything feels like it has been coated with a bit of the oil

then spread out in an even layer. Pop the whole thing in the hot oven and

bake 30-45 minutes or until the limas are done to your liking. I like my

crispy so I leave them for a full 45 minutes.

3. To serve, fish out the garlic and slice open the cloves to get at the sweet
and creamy goodness inside. Squeeze the soft garlic over the lima beans,
give the dish a generous pinch of salt and pepper and toss it up.
