Description
Here's a quick way to glamorize a family favorite.
 

Ingredients
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a baking sheet with sides, toss beans with oil, then spread the beans out in a single layer. Roast the beans for about 12 minutes, stirring once, or until wrinkled, brown and tender. In a small dry skillet over medium heat, stir sesame seeds until fragrant and toasted, about 1 minute. Crush the seeds lightly and toss with the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
