Fiery Green Beans

These Fiery Green Beans were a huge hit in our house! They are super easy to make. Just toss the beans in some olive oil and bake. Put them under the broiler for a few minutes and then toss in a mixture of lemon juice, red pepper flakes, cilantro and green onions. They are perfect side dish for a quick weeknight meal. You can even make these Fiery Green Beans ahead of time. They actually get better the longer they sit. They taste great warm, room temperature or even chilled. We ate these for dinner and cold for lunch the next day. YUM!
