Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Prepare tahini sauceIn a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons warm water, tahini, lemon zest and juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. The sauce will look curdled and layered at first, but continue whisking until it becomes smooth.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat. Add half of the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until charred, 4 to 6 minutes more. Add 2 teaspoons garlic, 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, and salt and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, 1 minute. Transfer the green beans to a platter, wipe out the skillet, and repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, beans, garlic, rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
