Instructions

For the Green Beans:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
Add green beans, olive oil, salt and pepper and Italian seasoning on the baking sheet. Mix everything together. Spread everything out in an even layer and roast for 10-12 minutes or until it’s tender.
While the green beans are in the oven, go ahead and prepare the spicy tahini sauce.

For the Spicy Tahini Sauce:

In a blender jar add all the ingredients listed for the spicy tahini sauce. Blend until is creamy and smooth. It’s about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the blender jar periodically while blending it.
If sauce is too thick, slowly add more water until it reaches consistency you prefer.
Top it over the roasted green beans and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Slightly adapted from amazing Heather Christo blog.
You can quickly trim the green beans by lining them up on a cutting board and cutting the tops and bottoms off.
Make sure you don't overcook the green beans or they'll get mushy. They should be bright green and crisp.
To store: You can store cooked green beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can store the sauce and green beans separately if you prefer.
To reheat: Reheat the green beans in the microwave or skillet.
To freeze: You can freeze cooked green beans in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
