Absolutely Excellent! I cooked mine a LOT longer - approximately 1 hour - to get a really good roasting flavor.

I have been making this same recipe--from a Moosewood cookbook and it is awesome. Like the other reviewer, I cook it about an hour to really get the onions caramelized. I also like to add more onions (but my husband doesn't agree). A really easy, yummy way to good green beans.

Great green bean recipe! I cooked mine a lot longer. Much better than mushy meat flavored beans!

I, too, roasted these longer than posted. At 20 min the beans were still a bit too crunchy for me but the garlic was done!! I'll adjust the cooking time accordingly next time. Thanks GinnyP

I gave this recipe 2 stars. I loved the idea of mixing garlic and onions w/green beans. I got mixed reviews on this recipe in my house. My family wasn't crazy over these beans. I'm not a big balsamic vinegar person so that's why I didn't care for them. My future hubby said that the garlic was to much (the more the better for me), my picky 8 yr old niece ate only her green beans, and finally my picky 6 yr old newphew enjoyed these beans (his only complaint was they needed more salt). Overall I don't think I'll make these again, but thanks for posting! Christine (internetnut)
