We really enjoyed your recipe. I used frozen beans (Love fresh but I have scads in the freezer from last years garden) and defrosted them, drained off excess water, omitted the 2 tbsp water, sprinkled a bit of powdered veg broth mix over them and them followed the rest of the recipe. I nearly overdid them, got a little careless, they had a lovely taste and a crunchy feeling texture because of the almonds. I used a bit more almonds Thanks Bev ,this is a keeper,

I love roasted vegetables. These were wonderful with a nice nutty flavor. I used fresh green beans and went a little lighter on the oil, maybe 2 teaspoons instead of the full tablespoon. The almonds were sliced instead of slivered. This was served with recipe #196785 and Recipe #110681 with the Lemon Dill variation.
