These were really, really good. I thought they were very flavorful without overpowering the taste of the beans. Thanks very much for the recipe. These will be made often here!

In my opinion, they could use more flavor. I added toasted almonds for a nice crunch, but the oil and garlic didn't add the flavor I was looking for to the beans.

Jeanette, Thanks for this great side dish,I was afraid it would be too oily as ducky said,so I cut the oil down to 1 Tablespoon,and I used canned green beans as I had no fresh ones,but it turned out great.I thought these were very tasty.Thanks Darlene

This was easy to make. However, it didn't seem to have too much flavor and it had A LOT of extra oil; so much that I had to drain the beans. I used fresh beans from the local farmer's market and extra garlic.

I thought these were great. I didn't add quite as much garlic, but then I used the refrigerated type that is like using fresh. I thought it would be too much. My family liked this one too. Even my 10 year old liked them.
