  • 2 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon or oregano
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder or 1 clove minced fresh garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
  • Fresh pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Combine green beans, olive oil, brown sugar, mustard, tarragon or oregano, garlic, and salt in a large bowl and toss well.  The beans will be sugar coated; this will melt during cooking.  Transfer the beans to a large baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour.  they will be tender-crisp.  toss the beans with the sauce that has accumulated at the bottom of the pan.  Transfer to a serving dish and season to taste with pepper.
