Quick & Easy Side
A flavor bomb of garlic, red chili flakes and aged balsamic convert these green beans into a magical side dish to any meal.
BE BRAVE and change out the seasonings to some soy sauce and sriracha sauce for a more Asian take on this easy, quick side. Alternatively, change out the aged balsamic to a thick flavored vinegar like Fig, Date Bacon, or Red Onion for another layer of flavor.
This fast addition to your dining table was another idea that our staff member Anissa Goodwin and I collaborated on and utilizes her favorite balsamic vinegar – our Bronze aged balsamic.
Easy, delicious veggies are fun to add to the table!
