Equipment

  • baking dish

Ingredients

  • fresh green beans washed and snapped
  • sesame oil
  • miso paste
  • garlic minced
  • yellow onion thinly sliced
  • butter

Seasoning Blend

  • adobo seasoning
  • ancho chili powder
  • ground cayenne pepper
  • ground white pepper
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • salt to taste
  • fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare the seasoning blend or free pour using your personal visual cues
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F
  • In a mixing bowl, drizzle the green beans with oil and toss until evenly coated
  • Spread the miso paste onto the green beans. Because of the thick texture of the miso paste, not every bean will be coated. That is okay as it will soften in the oven and mix with the melted butter
  • Add the garlic and seasoning to the green beans and pour into a baking dish. Cut the butter into chunks and evenly disperse on top of the beans
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until your desired doneness
  • Stir until green beans are evenly coated and plate. Sprinkle with finishing salt and/or fresh ground peppercorn
