This popular side dish pairs perfectly with any kind of pork skewers, from teriyaki to plain grilled.

These comforting legumes come in several varieties but work just as well no matter whichever recipe you decide to opt-in for; simply serve them hot alongside the freshly cooked bbq treats!

Baked, deep-fried or pan fried whichever way they’re prepared - they give off that perfect crispy crunch which will surely make your guests lick their fingers after every bite (or forkful…)! Just make sure you have plenty ketchup on hand too.
It was so tender it took literally no effort to thread onto the skewers.
I served this with regular baked potatoes and corn on the cob and it got 5 out of 5 thumbs up.
I didn’t change a thing and look forward to making this again.
