• 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, smashed
• 6 dates, pitted and diced

• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp chopped, dried rosemary)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, stirring to coat in oil and saute for 1 minute.
3. Add dates and green beans to the garlic-oil, stir to coat. Sautee, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes, or until the beans start to sweat just a bit.
4. Add salt, rosemary, and almonds, give one final stir to coat everything in the skillet, and pop in the oven.
5. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until the beans are slightly blistered and browned but still hold their form.
6. Top with flaked salt to taste (optional) before serving.
