Why This Recipe Works
To ensure plenty of flavor-boosting color, we tossed the beans with a touch of sugar along with olive oil, salt, and pepper. We knew the quick-cooking beans could only handle a short stay in the toaster oven before they overcooked, so we spread them on a small rimmed baking sheet and sealed them under aluminum foil so they could steam gently in the toaster. Uncovering the beans for the final 10 minutes let the sugar caramelize, turning the beans an appealing blistered, speckled brown. To lift the flavorful beans to another level entirely, we then tossed them with a warm orange vinaigrette and fresh chives and topped them with goat cheese and hazelnuts for a nutritious, well-rounded, and deeply flavored side.
