Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb green beans washed and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon each: sea salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup panko gluten-free if needed
- ¼ cup mint thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sumac
The Dressing
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2-3 teaspoons cold water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the beans on the baking sheet and toss them with the oil, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until they are crisp and tender.
- While the beans are roasting, prepare the panko. Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Continue to let it cook, without stirring, until it becomes golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the panko.
- In a small bowl, whisk the tahini, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and sea salt. Add the water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it is pourable.
- Put the beans into a serving bowl then add the panko, mint, and sumac and toss everything together well.
