Next time you’re looking for an alternative to French fries, try these green beans! For the dip, miso and Parmesan can be salty, so add a bit at a time and taste as you go, and only then reach for the salt if needed. The sauce is best when it’s had a few hours for the flavors to come together.
Note on miso: Miso Master is a great brand to use as it’s smooth and creamy. Miso Mayo is a great condiment on its own, and can also bring delicious umami to the dipping sauce.

Green Beans:
- 1 lb green beans, stem ends removed

- Roast for 10 minutes, toss and continue roasting for 5 minutes more. Let cool slightly so they’re ready to dip!
