Made this last night for a dinner party for 12 but I adjusted the serving size to 8 because I added some sauteed yellow onion and mushrooms. I blanched the green beans for ONLY 2 minutes as I love a crisp bite to my beans and you will be putting them in the oven at 400 again so they get cooked again there. They came out PERFECT ! A very nice SNAP left in the bean when it came out of the oven and it they even sat for 1/2hr before we ate and STILL had that CRUNCH! Added a bit more Blue cheese because I put a layer of the bean mixture in the dish then layered some of the cheese on then added all the rest of the bean mixture that way when you got to the middle of the beans there would still be blue cheese. Did everything else all the same. Got complements and there were none left in my dish!! Need I say more!!

I didn't have time to roast the garlic so I just minced it and sautéed it with the almonds. Delicious! The combination of blue cheese garlic and almonds is wonderful.

Made this for Christmas dinner for a group of 20 adults plus children. I doubled the recipe. OMGoodness awesome! The dish was wiped out on the first round! Note the initial ingredients list has a typo...says minced instead of roasted garlic. I ended up roasting 2 heads of garlic for a double recipe. I think three heads would have been even better. I was also liberal with the cayenne pepper...more than a little pinch. Everyone loved it! This dish was as beautiful as it was tasty! Good-bye to green bean casserole! lol

One of my teens devoured half the pan but requested more almonds next time. Anytime I can get one of my kids to devour a vegan dish is definitely worth repeating. I've gotten away from green bean casserole and will sub this as my go-to green bean dish for Thanksgiving.

If I could give this an extra bonus star I would! I used green beans from my garden & "guessed" I had about a half pound so I chose to use 1 head of garlic 1/2 as much blue cheese but still used 1/3c almonds. Rave reviews from the fam! Tasted so "gourmet"!

Delicious! The only thing I didn't have in the fridge was blue cheese, so I substituted shredded parmesan and they were outstanding! I will be making these again for sure.
