Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the green beans to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the sesame mixture.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the green beans are tender and lightly browned.
Remove the green beans from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with a few extra sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite main course and enjoy!
