Yield: 6 servings

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb. fresh green beans, stems trimmed
  • ½ tsp dark sesame oil
  • ½ tbsp black or white toasted sesame seeds
  • ¼ tsp fine-ground sea salt

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add the green beans to the pan and stir often to coat them in the oil and garlic. Reduce the heat slightly, if necessary, to prevent the garlic from burning. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the green beans are slightly tender but still crisp.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt. Serve warm.
