Baked Dragon Beans - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 22


Baked dragon beans require a little more work than green beans. It is well worth it. Dragon beans need to cook more thoroughly, so are not recommended for grilling. If baked from fresh, they tend to taste and feel like a wax bean. Plenty of water, and a teaspoon of butter improve the taste. Sometimes, it's nice to add a tablespoon of bacon grease from breakfast, 1/4 cup of bacon bits, or a 1/4 cup of chopped ham. Dragon beans can be mixed with other beans or squash.
