This is super simple and super tasty! I wasn't sure if DH would like them because he doesn't always like nuts in things but he asked to have them again the next night - the sure sign of a winner. Made for PRMRT

Yum! A simple side that looks and taste wonderful, the toasted pecans make a yummy change from the toasted almonds one gets use to having on green beans. Made as written and will be making again, thanks for the post.

I love green beans in any shape, but this is so far one of the best recipes I tried. The butter toasted pecans add so much flavour to the beans. Thanks for sharing this great idea!<br/>Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
