I've been feeling in a snacky mood lately. Unfortunately, this usually means that I would grab a bag of chips and go to town - however, I've been trying to keep to my new health kick, and that means healthy snacks as well!
So, I decided to make these delicious garlic sesame roasted green beans from the Skinnytaste cookbook. I added a few modifications, and they turned into a delicious, healthy snack! You could use them as a side to an asian-inspired dish, as well.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb of thin green beans (I use the french beans from Costco)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon furikake
- 1/2 teaspoon nanami togarashi, more to taste (Japanese chili powder)
- sesame seeds
- sea salt
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
Tools:
- cutting board
- knife
- foil
- baking sheet
Directions:
1. Wash and cut your green beans, and preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash the green beans well, then put them on the cutting board. Cut off the tough ends of each bean.
2. Arrange beans on foil-wrapped baking sheet
Wrap the baking sheet in foil. Arrange the beans in one layer on the baking sheet.
3. Toss with other ingredients
Drizzle the 2 teaspoons of sesame oil over the green beans, then sprinkle them with the furikake, nanami togarashi, a pinch of sea salt, and sesame seeds to taste. Shake the pan around to toss the green beans and cover them with the sesame oil and other ingredients.
4. Roast and serve!
Put the green beans in the oven for about 8-9 minutes, or until slightly golden brown. Take them out, and shake the pan a little, then put them in for another 4-5 minutes. Serve as a snack, or a side.
