Pretty good they really smell like oranges! A little light on flavor though. I fused this recipe and the sauteed green beans recipe together to spruce them up.

I don't normally like green beans, but I liked these! My husband said the same thing.I cut the recipe in half, but still used the whole orange rind. Perfect!

Absolutely loved this recipe. It is very simple, and the orange is more to brighten the dish than to really make a change in the flavor. We added some minced garlic to the water when cooking. Will definitely use this as a go-to side dish!
