Sesame-Ginger Green Beans

Recipe Description

These Sesame-Ginger Green Beans are totally delicious. Not only are they coated in a lovely sesame oil dressing and roasted in the oven, but they are also served with sesame seeds. I love this way of livening up green beans.

To make these beans, start by frying shallots until golden brown. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Toss green beans with olive oil, sesame oil, ginger, and salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook in the oven until tender but still green and transfer to a serving dish. Toss with sesame seeds and serve garnished with shallots.

To make my Sesame-Ginger Green Beans, you will need the following ingredients:

Delish! I made these green beans for a family dinner, and they were a hit! The sesame oil and ginger added such a nice touch. Even my hubby, who usually doesn't like green beans, went for seconds. Will definitely make again!
