Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams yellow beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 50 grams dry roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 piece lime
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Rinse and trim the yellow beans, removing any stems or blemished ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the yellow beans with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly blistered.
While the beans roast, finely mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the dry roasted peanuts. Set aside.
Once the beans are done roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the roasted beans to the skillet with the garlic, tossing them gently to coat in the garlicky oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Transfer the beans to a serving platter or bowl. Top with the chopped peanuts and freshly chopped cilantro.
Cut the lime into wedges and serve alongside the beans for an optional zesty squeeze before eating.
