These are very good and the spices really come forward. I think a splash of vinegar might put these over the top for me. Thanks, VeggieCook98, for a green bean side dish I will reach for again! Made for Veggie Recipe Swap 42.

Spicy is right! These almost knock you over with flavor. I really like the cooking technique as well; I'm going to try it with other seasoning combinations. Thanks for posting!

Delicious! I added a bit of a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up near the end. Loved the flavours and spices. Thanks!javascript:postComment();
