Slow Roasted Tomato Beans
This is the perfect, quick store cupboard recipe! It only uses 6 ingredients, and it's ready in about 15 minutes. You can swap the butter beans for any bean really, e.g. chickpea or cannellini would both be delicious. It also makes great leftovers, so I'd definitely recommend making more than you think you'll need!
