Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb green beans
½ tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tbsp avocado oil
½ tsp coarse sea salt (plus more to taste)
0.6 oz garlic cloves (minced about 3 large cloves)
½ tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp coconut aminos

Steps:

  • Trim the green beans. Rinse and pat dry with a clean towel.
  • In a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet, toast the sesame seeds with no oil over medium-low heat until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Toss the skillet often so as not to burn the seeds. See them aside.
  • Use the same skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. The pan should feel pretty warm when you place your palm near the surface, about 2-3 inches away. Spread the beans in a single layer without oil. Do not disturb for 3 minutes then toss every 3 minutes or so to char and blister the beans. You should see the skin turn wrinkly and with some charred spots, about 6 minutes total.
  • Add the avocado oil, stir-fry for 2 minutes with salt.
  • Add the garlic and sesame oil. Sauteing and tossing for 1 minute.
  • Add the coconut aminos. Keep tossing for 1 more minute.
  • Turn off the heat. Transfer the beans to a serving plate. Taste and season with more salt, if needed. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over. Serve at room temperature.

From allrecipes.com, but I need to post it here for safekeeping, because this recipe is amazing! I had to cook my beans longer than I thought to get them soft enough for my taste. So you might give yourself a little more time, depending on how you prefer your beans!
