About
Simplicity is key with these sweet and spicy green beans! The green beans will provide a natural sweetness, and the agave nectar enhances that. You get just a touch of heat from some crushed red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. This is an excellent side dish to any main course, and the flavors will speak for themselves!
