Serve these Mediterranean baked beans as an appetizer with your favorite whole grain bread, roasted cauliflower, or romanesco steaks! The beans and garlic literally melt into a creamy spread after it comes out of the oven. This is best served warm! If you are planning on serving it for a holiday appetizer, simply prep all of the ingredients beforehand and bake it when you are ready to serve.

Ingredients
3 cups cooked lima beans (butter beans)
1 cups cherry tomatoes
5 cloves garlic peeled
½ cups fresh basil
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoons sea salt
¼ teaspoons black pepper
¼ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
