30 Delectable Cauliflower & Green Bean Recipes

November 8, 2016 by Tommy's Superfoods Leave a Comment

Cauliflower and green beans are two veggies you definitely want to include in your regular diet. Both provide fantastic health benefits and can be served in a variety of ways for every meal of the day. In addition, eating green beans helps to promote food sustainability. Did you know that 60% of all green beans are grown in the US? Chances are, you can find local or regionally grown green beans where you live.

One thing to remember is that green beans and cauliflower can easily be overcooked and become something less than delicious and nutritious (and more like mushy and flavorless!) Roast these vegetables for just a few minutes to ensure they maintain their natural crunch and flavor.

If you’re looking for a solution with easy to prepare directions, give our cauliflower and green beans frozen medley a try. Made with cauliflower florets, french cut green beans, chopped onions, extra virgin olive oil, and Tommy’s Garlic & Chili Seasoning, it’s easy to prepare and can be used in many of the recipes included below.
