Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans , trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Garlic sauce
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
