Steps

Step 1: Preparing the Sesame Salt

Preparing the Sesame Salt
  • 4 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Method

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.

Step 2: Roasting the Green Beans

Roasting the Green Beans
  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil

Method

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.

Step 3: Assembling the Dish

Method

    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!
