At first, I tried a lot of different things, but then I settled on either roasting or sautéing them with chili garlic sauce. It didn’t occur to me to post the recipe here because it’s so simple and easy, but then I thought “Aha! People will love it because it’s simple and easy!” And since you probably don’t have an abundant long bean crop (or any long bean crop), I decided to use green beans instead.

Ingredients
- 1½ pounds green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- Place the green beans in a large bowl and toss them with the olive oil and chili garlic sauce. Transfer the beans to a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time, or until beans are tender and just starting to brown. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
Notes
Chili garlic sauce is sold in the international aisle at most grocery stores. If you don't have light olive oil on hand, any neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point will work. Light olive oil is not the same as extra-virgin olive oil!
