Try these delicious and healthy Roasted Lima Beans with Lime & Cayenne.

Roasted Lima Beans with Lime & Cayenne

Try these delicious and healthy Roasted Lima Beans with Lime & Cayenne. I grew up eating canned lima beans. This seems like a more grown up version. You can use frozen lima beans, skipping the boiling and just thaw them, which is what I did. Lima beans, like many other legumes, are a good source of dietary fibre, and a virtually fat-free source of high quality protein. Lima beans contain both soluble fibre, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and lowers cholesterol, and insoluble fibre, which aids in the prevention of constipation, digestive disorders, irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulitis.

This is a very basic Chicken Pot Pie recipe that is very mild and the epitome of comfort food. You can “jazz” it up anyway you want, but this recipe really worked for us. You can make one big one in a casserole or 8 small individual pot pies.
