These are delicious! They were so easy to throw together, and after cooking them for 16 minutes they came out very tender and flavorful. I think next time I might try adding some additional spices, like rosemary. Thanks for an easy weeknight side dish!

These were good and easy to make. Mine took 15 minutes in the microwave. It was a nice and easy side dish.

Made these exactly as written. They were very good and easy to prepare. Roasted potatoes in the oven are a bit better, but these were great in a pinch.

Yummy! These were so easy to prepare and were perfect paired with meat fixed on the grill for a hot day-no need to heat up the kitchen!(= I didn't have the browning sauce, but I didn't miss it. Other than that, I made as directed. Thanks for a great recipe, Carrie!

Carrier these were so easy to prepare and were v good. Didnt have the browning sauce otherwise would have been even better, not saying these were bad they were not. I added some smokey sauce to this in lieu of the browning sauce, other than that exactly as described. Thanks again for sharing
