Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil and minced garlic. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- While the green beans are roasting, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Once the green beans are roasted, transfer them to a clean bowl. Pour the sauce over the green beans and toss to coat evenly.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately. Enjoy your addictive crack green beans!
Notes
For extra crispy green beans, make sure they are completely dry before roasting. You can substitute honey for brown sugar. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They may lose some of their crispness upon reheating.
