French beans get lots of love here in our house. Or maybe I should say after cooking them this way. My two kiddos never really care much for French beans or green beans. They’ll eat them but not too crazy about them. But everytime I made this roasted French beans, there’s not enough to go around. You can do this with green beans too. My kids like it better with French beans. Maybe because it’s “skinnier” compare to green beans. The French beans are flavorful when you roasted them. Add some soy sauce and sesame seeds and those kick it up a notch !
I highly encourage to weigh ingredients with a digital kitchen scale instead of using measuring cups as they are not very accurate especially when it comes to recipe that requires precision.

Here are more green beans recipes I’ve made a while ago.
