My husband really liked these. I like a different flavor in green beans (garlic and oil). The onions were amazing! I only had one red onion and some shallots so I used those. Thank you.

Yum! These green beans have a slightly sweet glaze that is a great blend of flavors. This dish would be an excellent side to almost any dinner. I like that it is easy enough for a weeknight, but special enough for company.
