Roasted Green Beans With Fresh Cranberries & Dukkah - Spice up your holiday table with these Roasted Green Beans & Fresh cranberries with Dukkah, that are quick and easy to make.
"I love you more than whipped cream and caramel". That's what my son said to me before going to bed a few nights ago. More than whipped cream and caramel! Coming from a 7 year old, that's a very special thing to say, don't you think?
That sweet little moment made me realize how lucky I am. How many things I have in my life to be thankful for. And how often we forget about them.
Since that night, I've made an effort to find something to be thankful for when I wake up in the morning. Amazing how that little, seemingly insignificant act, can change your entire day, completely.
And since the timing seems perfect for it, how about we share those thoughts with you over the next postings along with our Thanksgiving and Hanukkah recipes?
I'll go first. Today, I'm thankful for my healthy, beautiful amazing little boy who fills my life with joy every day. And loves me more than whipped cream and caramel.
What are you thankful for?

hi where do you purchase kosher dukkah
Vicky & Ruth says
Trader Joes sells Kosher Dukkah. O-U parve certified.
leah says
wow that is great news thank you so much. would it be in the aisle with the nuts
Vicky & Ruth says
In our Trader Joe's is in the isle with the spices, but I would ask. Good luck!
leah says
Hi I have two small questions, do you thaw the green beans or put them on the baking sheet frozen and could you use 1 1/2 lbs of fresh green beans in place of the frozen bag?
Vicky & Ruth says
Place the green beans frozen on the baking sheet. You can use fresh green beans, the baking time may vary, so keep an eye on them in the oven.
leah says
thank you so much for letting us know where to get the dukkah. I got it at Trader Joes it was in the spice dept and it was 2.99 for 3.3 oz.
Vicky & Ruth says

Green beans are one of my favorite veggies so I'm super excited to try preparing them in a new dish! Thank you.

do you think it would still be good without the thyme and red hot pepper flakes

The Thyme and the red hot pepper flakes gives the green beans some additional flavor, try using other spices that you like.
