Garlicky Green Beans

"So you thought green beans had to be boring, did you? Thought your only option was to steam them and then drench the poor things with butter? Well I've got news for you: the Green Bean Revolution will not be televised! But it will be posted here at Recipe*zaar. OK, maybe that was a bit melodramatic...seriously though, these are great beans that are always requested and always complimented- even by veggie hating boyfriends and brothers ;)"

  1. These are good but they need to be watched carefully. Mine went from green to black fairly fast in their last minutes. Great for munching :) I used a mix of fresh green beans and wax beans - just for future chefs notice the wax beans don't turn out the same - they get sort of chewy so I don't suggest using them. Will make the green beans again.
     
  2. so easy and healthy.. delicious!
     
  3. I made these a couple of hours before dinner and served them at room temperature. I think they would have tasted better served warm. I loved biting into the roasted garlic cloves.
     
  4. Made these for our Christmas dinner. Easy and Fantastic flavor!
     
  5. This is one of my favorite ways to make green beans. I actualyl do it on the stove top, and use frozen beans, but now I will have to try it in the oven, since I bet it will be easier. thanks for the recipe!

Books and cooking are my passions...I love cookbooks by default. I will begin working on a Masters in English this coming fall...hopefully I'll still have time to cook! Someday I'd like to be able to publish my own cookbook from my family's recipes, but for now I'm just going to concentrate on getting my degree and becoming a better cook. I have an amazing boyfriend who, at 30, is just learning how to like vegetables and two rad, stripey cats.
