For easy veggies, I make a simple sauce of sweet red peppers, almonds and parsley. We also like this sauce with zucchini or roasted cauliflower. —Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah

I really liked this. Served with meatloaf and mashed potatoes. A wonderful side dish that really makes the meal "pop".

I really liked these. I left out the almonds but the red pepper sauce was still a great addition to the green beans. Easy to prep the sauce in advance as well so I didn't have to worry about the dish timing.
