These are a delicious and different way to prepare green beans. I made these for a dinner party, doubled the recipe and there was not a bean left.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb green beans, ends snapped off
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (about 3 medium cloves)
1 dash ground ginger
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil, spread beans on baking sheet.
2
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt; Using hands, toss to coat evenly, and distribute in even layer.
3
Roast in oven for 10 minutes.
4
While roasting, combine garlic, ginger, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in small bowl.
5
Remove beans from oven. Coat beans evenly with the garlic/ginger mixture; redistribute in even layer.
6
Return to oven and continue roasting until beans are dark golden brown in spots and starting to shrivel, 10-12 minutes longer.
7
Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary, toss well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

followed as directed, except added extra sesame oil for extra heat. Next time around, tho, I will roast them for less time...they ended up a little too dry.

I was so hoping someone would post this Roasted Green Bean recipe from Cook's Illustrated! I usually do the plain version (green beans, olive oil, salt & pepper) but this variation is very good too. I think this is my favorite Christopher Kimball feature EVER. Two of us can easily finish off one pound of beans, and still be wanting more. I had posted copies of that article & recipes in the break room when this recipe came out last fall, and had several co-workers that raved about these beans. Thank you for posting a recipe that is sure to become a classic!

Oh boy! Are these ever easy to eat!! Gives a whole new perspective to green beans. Easy to make, easy to eat (I guess I've said that already). I used black sesame seeds, toasted, and enjoyed the complimentary flavours of ginger and garlic. Served with garlic toast and steak, and Barolo red wine. Thanks!
