A salty-sweet side dish sure to please veggie-lovers and sweet-tooths alike! I can normally find a good-sized bag of fresh green beans at a fruit stand or farmer's market for about a dollar.
I made these for Easter. Very big hit, although I used about 2 lbs. of green beans and only 1/2 cup of brown sugar-no white sugar. I think that was a good move as I think it would have been way too sweet otherwise.

YUM!! I used chopped almonds instead. I also added some finely diced shallots and balsamic vinegar. This is an excellent side dish!!
I made a few changes to this recipe, as I didn't have walnuts and I don't eat dairy (butter): I cooked the green beans in olive oil instead of butter. I had to pour off some of the water as it was too much. I didn't use the white sugar based on some reviews that said it was too sweet. When the beans were done with the brown sugar and salt, I found it a little bland for my taste (could have been the missing butter), so I threw in a little more salt and about a tablespoon of garlic, and sauteed it all for a couple more minutes. Then they were amazing! I will definitely be making it again with my revisions.
A nice and new recipe. I love walnuts and they were so tasty with the greenbeens and brown sugar. I got many compliments on my dinner that evening.
Anything to try and get a kid to eat his veggies! The sugar was an interesting touch to the green beans, but this tasted really good! I ALMOST got them all down the 8 year old! Thanks for sharing.
I thought it was very very sweet. I even added alot of soy sauce because I tasted it before it was done. It needed alot more then what it was besides a sugared greenbean. You could hardly taste the walnut. When I seved it to my guest. I told them I was trying something new. I got mixed ratings. Three said they have had better and two said it was good. I think it just depends if you like sweet things.
A great side dish. My family loved these and even my pick daughter liked them!!
These beans were pretty good. I prefer saltier, more savory green bean recipes but these were a nice change of pace. My boyfriend said the walnuts really made the dish and I agree! Don't skip them!
This was wonderful, My husband actually eat Green Beans!! My son did not eat them but he would not even try them once I said Green Bean :-)
Just tried it tonight, and was a bit skeptical due to myself being a non-vegetable eater. I can truthfully say that after over 35 years of not eating green beans I found a green bean dish that I like. The crunch of the walnuts was the perfect touch!
This was really good. It was very easy to make. I substituted sliced almonds because that's what I had and that was good as well. I did notice that the water seemed to be a little excessive, but I managed my way around it. My husband was really impressed with this dish. Thanks!
Did Not like these! Maybe just the way I cooked them not sure but they were not as crispy as I thought they would be didn't care for them to much Guess I just like my green beans more salty than sweet
I made this tonight I am not a huge fan of fresh green beans but wanted to try something new I made 2lbs worth of green beans only used 1/2 cup of brown sugar no white sugar plenty sweet enough for us was very quick and easy to make and we loved it will make again maybe next time add a little bacon
This is great- I have a sweet tooth and my boyfriend likes salty, meaty entrees, so this is my go-to side dish when I'm making an entree for his taste. Doesn't keep that well though.
Family favorite now; took the place of green bean casserole for Christmas even! I only used the brown sugar. Doubled the green beans. Walnuts are best, but I have used pecans since we have many frozen. Less water/or drain off most before adding brown sugar. Thank you jayceeboyer!
These are good but the water never cooked off so they were kind of runny. Other than that, they were very good.
Great recipe. I used half the brown sugar and no white sugar and it was sweet enough. Also a little less water.
These were great, but I made the mistake of overcooking the beans. Even so, everyone enjoyed the sweet flavor and change of pace. This was a great way to get the kids to eat their veggies! Thanks for sharing!
This recipe has been a Thanksgiving staple for our family for the past few years. I make 2lbs. of green beans, a little bit more walnuts and keep everything else the same. It's a huge hit, everyone loves it!
