"Dry Fried" Green Beans w/ Balsamic Dressing

A variation on https://www.seriouseats.com/sichuan-dry-fried-green-bean-broiled-food-lab-recipe

Equipment:
Bowl big enough to toss 1 lb of green beans in
Sheet pan that can go under broiler

Tips:
1. If frying shallots yourself I like to do that first and then use the oil I fried shallots in for the recipe and dressing. 
2. A store-bought balsamic dressing with some soy sauce added would work too I think
 3. If using frozen green beans let thaw and dry off w/ a paper towel before tossing/broiling

Steps

20 mins

1

Place oven rack in top position, just under broiler
2

Heat broiler on high for a few minutes
3

Line a sheet pan big enough to fit green beans with foil (for easy clean up)
4

Place green beans in a bowl with 1 tbsp of oil, salt, and pepper and toss to coat the green beans evenly
5

Spread green beans out in a single layer on sheet pan
6

Place sheet pan under broiler until green beans start to look browned in spots and blistered (2-5 minutes depending on your broiler).
7

Remove from oven and shut off broiler, if not serving right away keep on sheet pan to reheat later
8

Prepare the dressing
9

In a bowl or a plastic container big enough to hold all dressing ingredients and not be filled over halfway up combine all of the above dressing ingredients and shake until combined, if using a bowl whisk until combined (you can even use a fork for this). Plastic container is easiest because you should only have to shake it for 15 seconds or so.

To Serve
11

Re-heat green beans if cold, mix dressing if separated, toss green beans with dressing (either on sheet pan, in bowl from earlier, on a serving plate, etc). 
12

Top with fried shallot/onion if using.
