About

Simplicity is key with these sweet and spicy green beans! The green beans will provide a natural sweetness, and the agave nectar enhances that. You get just a touch of heat from some crushed red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. This is an excellent side dish to any main course, and the flavors will speak for themselves!

Ingredients

⅓ cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic raw
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes by 365
¼ teaspoon sesame seeds
¼ teaspoon ginger root raw
2 teaspoon natural organic agave nectar by agave in the raw
3 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounce green beans

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, red pepper, sesame seed, grated ginger, and agave. Set this aside for later.
In a shallow pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the green beans for about five minutes, making sure to stir them gently to avoid burning.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the green beans, and turn the heat down very low. For 6-7 minutes, let the green beans soak up the sauce, stirring gently to avoid burning. The green beans may turn a dark green as they cook in the soy sauce. Serve hot!
