      1. I'm with you! I have been making green beans only one way for a while - Garlicky Roasted Green Beans. Glad to have some new ways to spice it up (pun intended 😉 )

        1. Garlicky roasted (enter any veggie name here) is a frequent dish in this house for sure. And love the pun - I indadvertedly say them all the time 🙂

  2. Mmm, 5 spice is great! It'd be a nice take on the green beans this Thanksgiving.

  3. Love this recipe and the roundup---- green beans are one of my go-to weeknight vegetable side dishes.

    1. Funny, that broccoli is usually my go-to side veggie and don't know why I don't get green beans more often - that needs to change 🙂

    1. Thanks Tanya - one of the few veggies dear husband eats so I need to make them more often around these parts - hah.

    1. Sure thing - happy Thanksgiving to you my friend - will be thinking about you and your chocolate swirl pumpkin pie 🙂

  7. Classic Green Bean Casserole is classic for a reason but your recipe is definitely a great way to mix things up a bit! The Harissa recipe looks awesome too!

  8. These are crazypants awesome! I love that these use five spice, which is way underrated in my opinion!

  9. Great round up. I can't wait to check out all the recipes. I think 2015 is going to be the year of the vegetable! The fun never ends 🙂

  10. Green beans actually aren't my favorite veggie so I'm looking forward to trying out some of these recipes, have a great holiday ladies 🙂

    1. I don't think you are human if every veggie is your favorite, right?? Congrats on completing the Philly Half!
