Are green beans the best vegetable ever? All I know is, for well prepared ones with a generous dashing of salt, I start asking myself if I like them better than french fries. Here’s a simple way to prepare these versatile legumes with some classic flavor. For eating I like snapping or cutting off the ends of course (great kitchen job for little ones by the way, more ideas here). But I do think they are prettier with the natural look of the ends left on.
