Roasted Asian Spicy Green Beans

These roasted Asian spicy beans were such a great compliment to the Chinese Car Siu recipe, I roasted them in my cast iron pan right on the grill. I have baking instructions for you as well! This dinner came together so easy, I put Jim in charge of the grill and I made the fried rice on the stove top but I could have easily done the rice on the grill as well!

This picture is when we first put it on the grill as it cooks the beans will get lightly charred.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
3 garlic cloves minced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. We like it spicy so I used 1/2 teaspoon.
1 Tablespoon Tamari
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ginger

Directions

In a medium bowl toss together all of the ingredients and mix well.

IF BAKING- pre heat oven to 425 degrees . Line a baking sheet with foil, spray with non stick spray. Layer the green beans in a single layer on your baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes or until the beans are tender.

FOR GRILLING-Add the green beans to a cast iron skillet and grill u see the beans are tender, mine took about 15 -20 minutes. This will depend on how hot your fire is.

When tender remove from oven or grill and serve warm.

Enjoy!
