Szechuan Green Beans *Spicy*

I was sitting at a new local restaurant and had the most flavorful green beans I’ve ever had a few weeks ago while out for a girls night. I knew I had to make them to enjoy at home! These aren’t an exact copy but they came close! These spicy Szechuan green beans are the perfect side to any main course! We love serving these with grilled chicken and rice or a stir fry. So flavorful with a perfect heat kick!
