Teriyaki-Roasted Green Beans

After making Roasted Green Beans with Balsamic & Parmesan, I'm officially in love with roasted green beans. It was the first time I had roasted green beans, and I knew it wouldn't be the last. I bought fresh green beans yesterday knowing I would mix up the recipe this week. Why not? They're crispy, sweet and full of flavor.

Since I was making Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Sauce, I thought an Asian-inspired roasted green bean would be great. Not only that, I just bought a bottle of Teriyaki sauce and wanted to put it to more than one use.

I was not disappointed. They were the perfect compliment to the salmon, and left me feeling great after my meal. I'm definitely going to be experimenting with other versions of roasted green beans very soon. Yum!
