July 10, 2020 By Kaitlin McGinn 2 Comments

Our family goes wild for these easy miso-glazed green beans! A perfect summer side dish, and packed with tons of delicious sweet & savory flavor. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)

Plate of miso-glazed green beans with sesame seeds

Our family goes wild for these simple miso-glazed green beans that are packed with delicious sweet & savory flavor. And they only take 15 minutes to make, with very simple prep. It’s a fantastic choice for a summer side dish (with fresh garden green beans) or even a flavorful addition to your holiday table in the winter. They’re a great alternative to these Almond-Garlic Green Beans we love as well.

How to Cook Green Beans

While I prefer to steam my green beans as written below (to help retain nutrients and it’s quick & easy) feel free to use your own favorite method of cooking.

It’s a pretty simple recipe: just cook the green beans, whisk together the glaze, and toss them together. That’s it! Hope you love these as much as our family.

Author: Kaitlin – The Garden Grazer
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:5 minutes
Total Time:15 minutes
Category: Side Dish
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Oil-Free, Vegan
Servings:4 side servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh green beans
  • 2 tsp. sesame seeds (more as desired)

For the miso glaze:

  • 1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. white miso
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. tamari
  • 2 tsp. agave (more/less to taste)
  • 1 Tbsp. warm water to thin

Instructions

  • Trim ends off green beans and rinse.
  • Place a large skillet (with lid), over medium-high heat, and add 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth. (*Or use your own favorite method of cooking green beans.)
  • Once water/broth is hot, carefully add green beans and cover with lid. Steam for about 4-5 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender.
  • While green beans are cooking, prepare the miso glaze: add all glaze ingredients to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine until miso clumps are dissolved. (It may take a minute!) Add a touch more water if needed to help thin.
  • When green beans are crisp-tender, drain, and immediately add them to the bowl with miso glaze. Add sesame seeds. Toss well to thoroughly combine. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top before serving.

Notes

*Feel free to use your own favorite method of cooking green beans for this recipe. (You can boil them for 4-5 minutes, or use a steamer basket as well.)
For an alternate version, try some freshly grated ginger (or a little garlic) in the glaze.

    This is excellent. If you’re not that familiar with miso, I’m not,though I have it in the fridge bcs its good for you, was thinking, no oil, miso doesn’t sound so good. But what a pleasant surprise! It’s so tasty! I will definately put it into green bean rotation.
    Thank you, Kaitlin!5 stars
