Roasted Green Beans with Sesame Seeds

Ingredients

• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 1 teaspoon canola oil
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

1. 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 until wrinkled, brown and tender, about 12 minutes, stirring once.
2. Meanwhile, toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet, stirring constantly over medium-low heat, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Crush the seeds lightly and toss with the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
