Slow-Roasted Green Beans with SageMichael Graydon and Nikole Herriott
Forget the rule about cooking vegetables just until they're crisp-tender. The oven-roasting method used here results in lusciously soft beans with intensified flavor. Be sure to use fresh beans; older ones can be dry and tough.
Recipe information
Yield
Makes 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds tender green beans, trimmed
3 bunches scallions, trimmed with 1" green tops still attached, halved lengthwise
6 large garlic cloves, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl and season with pepper. Toss to evenly incorporate. Transfer beans to a large rimmed baking sheet.
Step 2
Roast beans, stirring every 10 minutes, until wilted, shrunken, and browned at edges, about 1 hour. (You may need to stir more often toward end for even browning.)
