Easy side, tasty enough to serve for guests, including one who requested recipe. Yum.
Donald Salazar
This is delicious. I’ve made it several times. I add sauteed onions and garlic. I also toss in a handful of chopped fresh basil if I have it on hand. I serve it with a salmon fillet topped with a dollop of homemade pesto.

I’m always looking for new vegetarian dishes, but specifically those that have minimal number of ingredients and don’t require alot of prep time. This was amazingly simple and was a totally satisfying dinner (and had leftovers for lunch!). YUM
Jeffrey Smith
These were fine, but nothing special. Probably wouldn’t make them again.
Samantha Brock
I made this dish and i wasn’t sure how it would come out at all i just felt like making a different side dish. Yummy! My 6-year old asked if i can make them again soon.
Ms. Tina Jones
These were pretty good. A new way to eat your beans for sure

I am Greek and have made these beans too many times to remember. To kick up the flavors, sautee a little onion, carrot and garlic then add beans, fresh tomatoes (or a little canned, but fresh is best) and LOTS of parsley and EVOO. Bake as suggested by Rachel. This is such a great dish hot or cold. My congrats to Rachel for digging out this time tested recipe from my country.

Great! Just needs a little more spice for me. I also added garlic and crushed red pepper.

were’nt so crazy about it.
I guess you really got to like beans!
