I love a delicious recipe that makes me rethink my normal lunch of a sandwich or Chick Fil A! I’ve always only eaten beans as a side dish and they’ve never really been my favorite or something I crave. However, after tasting the Rosemary Beans at Zoe’s Kitchen, I changed my tune! They are fantastic and were very easy to recreate. I served them as a side for my family one night but really loved them when I put them on a piece of toasted French bread the next day for lunch! It was like a different type of bruschetta and it was DELICIOUS!!
These beans are foolproof and are also very beautiful to serve at a dinner party or family dinner. Add a little sprig of rosemary to the top and people will think you spent all day cooking!
Zoe's Copycat Rosemary White Beans
Zoe's Kitchen (mediterranean chain restaurant with lots of locations in the South) is one of my favorite quick, pick-up and go places. One of my favorite items on their menu is the Rosemary White Beans. These were SO easy to recreate and tasted awfully close to the "real" thing. They are a great side dish for dinner and would be amazing on a toasted piece of french bread for a quick lunch.

Instructions
