Ingredients: 1½ tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free); 1½ tsp chili garlic sauce; 2 tsp avocado oil (or canola or grapeseed oil); 2 tbsp minced ginger; 1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1½-inch pieces; 1 tsp sesame oil; 3 garlic cloves, minced

Crispy-tender green beans get a bold kick from ginger, garlic, and chili in this 14-minute side that's vibrant and deeply savory. The high-heat stir-fry technique locks in the beans' crunch while the sesame oil adds a nutty finish that makes this feel restaurant-quality. Perfect for busy weeknights when you need a flavor-packed vegetable that pairs beautifully with any protein.
