Toasted Sesame Green Beans

Toasted Sesame Green Beans bring a nutty crunch from sesame seeds to crisp-tender green beans, finished with a light, savory glaze from a splash of broth. The flavors are clean and balanced, with a hint of peppery warmth. Serve as a bright, versatile side for weeknight dinners or holiday spreads.
