01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Toss the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, green beans, and a tablespoon of sesame oil together until everything is nicely coated. Spread the veggies out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Pop them in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes, giving them a good stir around the halfway mark.

Step 2
While the veggies are roasting, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the rice vinegar and chili-garlic sauce, stirring to combine. Then throw in the chicken pieces, along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook everything, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Once the veggies are done roasting, mix them into the wok with the chicken. Give everything a good toss so the flavors meld together. Finish by sprinkling some bagel seasoning on top before serving—it adds a nice crunchy kick!
