Roasted Green Beans with Spicy Tahini Sauce

Roasted Green Beans with Spicy Tahini Sauce is the perfect side dish for any occasion. It goes well with fish, chicken and meat. (Low-carb, Paleo, Whole30, Gluten-free)

Although green beans are available all year long and you can find it in everywhere grocery store and supermarket, it’s always better to eat them on the peak season, which is from May to September. They are much fresher and crunchy during these months and they’re always a great side dish for any kind of meat and BBQ. Besides that, this veggie is low in calories, in sugar and it’s full of fiber, vitamin K, C, and A.

Because of that, I try to cook green beans as often as possible like in my Roasted Parmesan Green Beans, Garlic Butter Green Beans Recipe, Garlic Butter Green Beans, and Sweet Potato Green Beans Shrimp Skillet. It’s such a quick and easy vegetable to cook!

You can cook it in so many ways like sauté, steam, roasted or even in boiled water for only few minutes. I normally like them tender so I roast them for only 10 minutes in the oven with salt, pepper and olive oil or sauté for 7 minutes. Done! Few days ago I was preparing again my roasted green beans when I thought about adding some sauce on top of it because I wanted to innovate a lit bit. I looked inside of my pantry and the saw my tahini paste jar waiting to be used. So I made this quick sauce using a Whole30 approved hot sauce, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil. I blended everything in my awesome blender for 1 minute and done. In 1-minute I have a delicious sauce to enjoy along with my roasted green beans.

Where can I find Tahini Paste?

You can easily find Tahini paste atyour local store in the same aisle as the nuts and seeds and nut butters. Also it can be found in any healthy food store too.
