I didn't have any pepitas, so I used sunflower seeds instead. They worked just as well and the dish was still delicious.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up burning the green beans.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my green beans were not as crispy as I would have liked. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These green beans were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and lemon next time.
