Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the beans are evenly coated.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
While the green beans are roasting, prepare the honey-sesame glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
Remove the green beans from the oven and transfer them back to the large mixing bowl. Pour the honey-sesame glaze over the beans and toss until fully coated.
Return the glazed green beans to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top.
Roast the green beans for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted green beans to a serving platter. Enjoy immediately as a healthy and flavorful side dish!
