Ingredients

1 lb fresh or frozen green beans
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large red bell pepper sliced thin
1 onion sliced

For the sauce:

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp grated ginger
2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans in the boiling water until bright green and tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and immediately put the green beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle olive oil. Sauté the red bell pepper and onion, about 2 minutes, then add in the green beans. Sauté the green beans with the peppers and onions about 5 more minutes or until green beans start to soften and blister.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic and pour sauce over top of veggies in the skillet. Cook an additional 2 minutes making sure everything is coated, remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
