Ingredients

• 500 grams yellow beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 50 grams dry roasted peanuts
• 2 tablespoons cilantro
• 1 piece lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Rinse and trim the yellow beans, removing any stems or blemished ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the yellow beans with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly blistered.

Step 5

While the beans roast, finely mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the dry roasted peanuts. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the beans are done roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the roasted beans to the skillet with the garlic, tossing them gently to coat in the garlicky oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Transfer the beans to a serving platter or bowl. Top with the chopped peanuts and freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Cut the lime into wedges and serve alongside the beans for an optional zesty squeeze before eating.
