- 454 g / 1 lb green beans, washed, dried, ends trimmed
- 28 g / 2 tbsp Crystal margarine, melted
- 8 g / 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 g / 1/2 tsp chili flakes

Directions
- Preheat oven to 475℉ (245℃). Place a large baking sheet into the oven, while the oven is preheating.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans with the melted Crystal margarine until well-coated.
Sprinkle the beans with salt and chili flakes. Toss again to ensure all the beans are properly seasoned. - In a small bowl, or a measuring cup, whisk together the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic and tamari sauce. Set aside.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and line with parchment paper. Spread the beans in a single layer onto the hot sheet. Place into the preheated oven and bake;10 minutes.
- Remove beans from the oven and drizzle the dressing overtop the beans. Shake pan to evenly distribute. Place baking sheet back into the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until beans are roasted in a few areas and are beginning to shrivel.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Chef’s Tips:
- Ensure beans are in a single layer to create crisp roasted beans – this prevents the beans from steaming.
- If desired, omit chili flakes.
