Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or tamari for a gluten-free option
• 1 tablespoon chicken stock, or rice wine, or water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

• Preheat oven to 230 degrees C (450 F).
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, if needed.
• Dry the green beans thoroughly with a paper towel. Spread onto the baking sheet. Pour on olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to mix well. Shake the pan and use a pair of tongs to arrange the green beans into a single layer, to ensure even roasting.
• Bake for 12 minutes, until browned and almost tender.
• While baking the green beans, prepare the garlic sauce. Mix soy sauce, chicken stock, sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Add garlic. Stir for a minute or until fragrant. Add the soy sauce mixture. Let cook until boiling. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens.
• Pour the sauce over the green beans. Toss to mix well. Place them back into the oven and let bake for another 2 to 4 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized.
• Serve warm as a side dish.
• You can cook these green beans ahead and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a day. Reheat at 180 C (350 F) in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
