Tasty green beans! What a fun and different take on them. The flavors were strong but wonderful. I especially liked the little bit of heat from the crushed red pepper flakes. The only thing I will do differently next time, is to use less oil...maybe only 1 T. Mine were a bit too heavy on the oil for some reason. Can't wait to try them again!
