One of my favorite things to do in the summer is visit the local farmer’s market. There’s just something about fresh veggies that makes my heart sing! It’s so much fun to walk up and down the rows of stands, gazing upon the freshest vegetables, baked goods and flowers that money can buy!

I spotted some beautiful green beans that just drew me in. Once I got closer to the stand, I noticed the vendor was selling them in three different colors – green, yellow and purple! Believe it or not, I had never tasted yellow or purple beans. To my surprise after a quick taste test, I discovered the purple and yellow beans really didn’t taste a whole lot different than the normal green beans. I had the lady bag me up a pound of the beans (and yes, she threw all three colors in) and I took them home to clean up for dinner that night.

I found a recipe from Sugar-Free Mom that looked interesting and worth trying out. . .so I did. . .with a few tweaks.

These Roasted Garlic Parmesan Green Beans are filled with flavor and become a perfect side any main dish. I love the uniqueness of the recipe. I had never made anything like this before – I mean, who mixes in an egg with their green beans? Well, I do now, because these beans are delicious.

The parmesan, the garlic, the little bit of crisp that’s created by the broiler after they’re fully roasted. Oh. my. goodness. I love these beans, my husband loves these beans and I know you’re going to love them, too! I can’t wait to hear your feedback in the comments!
