A long, slow roast with lots of olive oil is a great way to caramelize your green beans, bringing them to heights not known before. Garlic and sage add an element of seasonal comfort. (Photo source: Bon Appetit)

Ingredients

2 ½ pounds tender green beans, trimmed

3 bunches scallions, trimmed with 1-inch green tops still attached, halved lengthwise

6 to 8 large garlic cloves, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices

½ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh sage

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

2 teaspoons kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Cook's Note: You may need to stir more often toward the end for even browning.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Combine the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss until everything is coated evenly. Transfer beans to a large rimmed baking sheet.

Roast beans, stirring every 10 minutes, until wilted, shrunken, and browned at edges, about 1 hour, or less, if you'd prefer less tender beans.
