An oven’s high heat can sometimes dry out vegetables, but we add a touch of steam to help prevent that from happening to these green beans, which roast in under 10 minutes in the Anova Precision Oven. The roasted beans get topped with a rich browned butter vinaigrette reminiscent of Vietnamese nước mắm because of the addition of fish sauce, zesty lime juice, and a touch of honey. Don’t limit the vinaigrette to just green beans; drizzle it over any of your favorite roasted vegetables or use it as a sauce for fish or shrimp.

3 cloves

1 (14g)
Fresno chile, thinly sliced
1.5 Tbsp
fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp
honey
1 Tbsp

1 lb (454g)

Steps

1. Preheat the Oven

Rack
Sous Vide Mode: Off
Steam: 25%
Temp: 425°F
Heat: Rear, Top

2. Make the Vinaigrette

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter then cook, stirring frequently, until light brown specks start to form and the butter starts to smell nutty, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and immediately add the garlic and Fresno chile. Let cook in the residual heat, still stirring, until the garlic and chile are softened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the lime juice, honey, and fish sauce. Set the skillet with the vinaigrette aside to cool slightly while you cook the green beans.

3. Season the Green Beans

Place the green beans onto a sheet pan and toss with the vegetable oil, salt, and a couple grinds of black pepper. Spread the greens beans out into a single layer (a little overlap is fine).

5. Garnish and Serve

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the green beans to a serving platter. Whisk the warm vinaigrette once more (it might look separated and that is okay). Spoon it over the green beans and sprinkle with the cashews and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
