Questions & Replies

So do I understand right? You put FROZEN beans in with all the olive oil, etc then place in the bag and freeze - right?? When it is time to cook, do you defrost them first before putting in the oven or stovetop or just cook them right out of the freezer?? Thanks.

Do you defrost before putting in the oven? Bake how long?

I have made this recipe at least a half-dozen times and it has turned out fabulous every time. In fact, it is now my go-to potluck recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and one that my relatives and in-laws always request! How much better is it that I can prep it weeks before the holiday and freeze it? I shake up all the ingredients together in the freezer bag to avoid dirtying a bowl, and then I always use the oven-roasting method to cook it when the time comes. Yum, yum, yum! Thank you for sharing!

Very good - I forgot the parmesan cheese and didn't have any sweet pepper, but was still very good. Next time I will definitely add the parmesan cheese, so will be even better. Thanks for a great recipe.
