FROM MY JEWISH LEARNING

Ingredients

1 lb trimmed green beans
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons orange juice
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger

Yield:
Serves 4

Directions

Preheat oven to 425. Spread beans in a 9×13-inch baking dish; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat beans evenly. Roast for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the tahini, honey, tamari, garlic, orange juice, and ginger in a small bowl.

Remove beans from oven. Pour honey-tahini mixture over beans and toss to coat evenly. Return beans to oven and roast for 10-12 additional minutes, until brown and starting to shrivel. Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper to taste.
