I made these this week to go with my weekly meal prep. They're so tasty that they feel decadent but are pretty healthy. This one is a keeper!

Made these exactly as listed (using veggie stock) and so glad I did. Even DH who usually turns up his nose to anything green liked these. Thanks for sharing

This was so delicious! I could have eaten only green beans for dinner. This would be good on other veggies too, like broccoli. We forgot to put the seeds on but I remembered when getting seconds and it was good both ways. Thank you

I did not do the sesame seeds, but followed the directions for the rest. These were delicious. I adore ginger and garlic, and this had the right amount of both. These are on the stove again today, and will be a standard in my house. Wonderful recipe.
