• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F. Toss beans with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, lime juice and cayenne. Spread beans out on a baking sheet and place in oven. Roast until beans begin to brown slightly. Serve warm or room temperature.

CREAMY BAKED LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Soak Beans overnight, with plenty of water above the beans. They soak it up!
• In the morning, drain the beans, cover with water, add 1 tsp salt and cook until slightly tender -- 20-30 minutes. However, you must watch these babies, because they have a big tendency to boil over!Just bring them to a boil (watching them), then lower the heat --- and still watch them!
• After the beans are cooked, drain again and rinse them under hot water, and place them in a lightly sprayed or greased (oleo) casserole dish.
• Dab Butter over beans; mix "lightly"! or they get squishy.
• Stir in Molasses.
• Finally, pour in sour cream and mix "tenderly".
• Bake at 350 for one hour. (again, keep an eye on them, I don't think I usually bake them for and entire hour).
