I'm probably a bit biased because green beans are my favorite vegetable, but, this recipe came out great! I made a few subs as I was just trying to use things I already had. I used ground thyme, a very small amount of kosher salt, and some sautéed red onions. I would recommend steaming them longer than 5 minutes...mine came out much crispier than expected. Still delicious though :-)
