2 tbsp

3/4 tsp
salt
1/2 tsp
chili flakes
2 tbsp
sesame oil
4 tsp
rice wine vinegar

directions
Preheat oven to 475℉ (245℃). Place a large baking sheet into the oven, while the oven is preheating.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with the melted Crystal Margarine until well-coated.
Sprinkle the beans with salt and chili flakes. Toss again to ensure all the beans are properly seasoned.
In a small bowl, or a measuring cup, whisk together the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic and tamari sauce. Set aside.
Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and line with parchment paper. Spread the beans in a single layer onto the hot sheet. Place into the preheated oven and bake;10 minutes.
Remove beans from the oven and drizzle the dressing overtop the beans. Shake pan to evenly distribute. Place baking sheet back into the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until beans are roasted in a few areas and are beginning to shrivel.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Chef’s Tips: roasted sesame green beans
- Ensure beans are in a single layer to create crisp roasted beans – this prevents the beans from steaming.
- If desired, omit chili flakes.
