    Chili Garlic Green Beans
    You know those people who go around saying that they have no regrets in life? I'm pretty sure those people are liars. You don't regret that perm you got in 3rd grade from Fantastic Sam's? Or the giant red glasses you picked out when you were 10 because you loved Sally Jessy Raphael that much?

    Okay fine, that was me, not you.

    But anyway! We all have regrets, but hopefully they're of the bad perm and red glasses variety, and not of the I'm-$40K-in-debt-for-a-degree-I-don't-use variety. (Ha ha, that would be me too. Think long and hard about that liberal arts degree, kids. It sounds cool now, but you're probably going to end up blogging about tempeh in 10 years.) And as summer comes to an end, I feel a lot of regret over not posting more bean recipes...

    Green Beans
    Beans! I'm sorry for neglecting you! And the funny thing is, we ate lots of beans this summer, thanks to my abundant long bean crop, but most of the time I just threw something together rather than making an actual recipe. At first, I tried a lot of different things, but then I settled on either roasting or sautéing them with chili garlic sauce. It didn't occur to me to post the recipe here because it's so simple and easy, but then I thought "Aha! People will love it because it's simple and easy!" And since you probably don't have an abundant long bean crop (or any long bean crop), I decided to use green beans instead.

    Chili Garlic Green Beans
    Not only are Chili Garlic Green Beans incredibly easy to make, they're also my favorite green bean recipe at the moment. They are the official green beans of Summer 2013. With the spicy chili garlic sauce and a splash of fresh lime juice, they're so tasty I could even eat them as a snack. And did I mention they take about 15 minutes to make from start to finish? 15 minutes! You can't not make these beans.

    (Well, you could not make them, but I think you'd regret it.)

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ pounds green beans trimmed
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    • Salt to taste
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
    • Place the green beans in a large bowl and toss them with the olive oil and chili garlic sauce. Transfer the beans to a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time, or until beans are tender and just starting to brown. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.

    Notes

    Chili garlic sauce is sold in the international aisle at most grocery stores. If you don't have light olive oil on hand, any neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point will work. Light olive oil is not the same as extra-virgin olive oil!

      Ha! I have my share of regrets, no doubt about that. This is easy and delicious and another veggie my husband won't eat. However, I'll have to throw this together for my kiddo and I 🙂

      I had a huge plate of green beans for dinner last night, and I'm in agreement. I regret not making more this summer! And that liberal arts based degree...

        Yeah, whenever I eat green beans, I really love them, but when I think summer veggies, I think corn and zucchini and tomatoes (which aren't really a veggie, fine), and green beans are probably last on my list. Which is a shame! Because they are delicious!

      Girrrrrl! We have similar regrets!! In high school I got a perm. Not a cool idea. Also my first pair of glasses were of the Sally Jesse Raphael variety except blue. So cool! Umm I want to let you know I made these last night! They were so good I am 100% honest when I say I ate a pound of beans single-handedly! Thanks for the great recipe! I will definitely make it again!

      This has become a staple in our home! Thanks for sharing this recipe! We add about a quarter teaspoon of red pepper flakes to give it some spice. If you want less spice, add about an eighth of a teaspoon.
