Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs fresh string beans ends trimmed
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves peeled and sliced in half
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp dry Sriracha seasoning ,or to taste (I use Weber brand- it's flavorful and not overly spicy)
  • optional: coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds to taste for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Toss string beans and garlic with olive oil in a shallow roasting pan sprayed with olive oil spray or lined with parchment paper.
  • Season with sriracha and salt (to taste).
  • Bake, stirring a couple of times during cooking, until very tender and browned in spots, about 40 minutes.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature. Drizzle with coconut aminos or soy sauce and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

    • Trim the ends. Don’t forget to trim the ends of the beans before roasting. This makes them look more appealing and ensures they cook evenly. Consider cutting larger ones in half to match the size of the smaller ones for even cooking. 
    • Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give the beans room to breathe when roasting! If your pan is overcrowded, they’ll steam instead of roast, preventing that delicious caramelization we’re aiming for. Use two pans if necessary.
    • Quick cook option. For a faster option, roast the beans at 400°F. This will reduce the cooking time to about 20-30 minutes, so keep an eye on them and stir occasionally for even browning.
