Step 1: Preparing the Sesame Salt

Preparing the Sesame Salt

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit to get it good and hot to roast the veggies.

To prepare the sesame salt, heat a small fry pan over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir or toss often until the seeds become light-golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, remove the seeds from the pan or they will continue to cook. Cool completely.

In a clean spice grinder or mortar and pestle, add the toasted seeds and salt. Pulse and grind into a coarse texture. Set aside.

  • 4 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Step 2: Roasting the Green Beans

Roasting the Green Beans

Wash, dry and trim the green beans. Place into a large bowl and toss with the olive oil just to coat. Arrange onto a parchment-lined tray and roast for approximately 5 minutes or until just starting to brown.

  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil

Step 3: Assembling the Dish

Assembling the Dish

As soon as the beans are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a shallow serving dish and sprinkle the with sesame salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Yum!

Wow. I have never one time in my life liked green beans before! This recipe was so good! I will definitely be eating more beans in my future! Loved the sesame salt too!

What a great recipe. The beans have just the right amount of crunch. Can I save the left over sesame salt for future use? In the fridge?

We're glad that you like them, Debbie! The fridge is fine (although likely not necessary) - the only real issue is the potential for rancidity in the sesame seeds. Cheers!
