44 QUICK & EASY GREEN BEAN RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Tuna Green Bean Casserole. By adding tuna to the traditional green bean casserole, you can turn the classic side dish into something entirely new. It has enough protein to make a main dish, but also works as a potluck contribution or hearty side.
- Green Bean and Potato Salad. For a different twist on your classic potato salad, try this version that uses green beans to mix things up a bit. Fresh dill, lemon juice, chopped onion and celery, a little dill pickle relish, mayonnaise, and either red or new potatoes go perfectly with fresh or frozen green beans for a picnic or barbecue salad that everyone will enjoy.
- Skillet Green Beans and Bacon. When you want to improve upon a dish, just add bacon! Tossing green beans in a skillet with bacon adds umami, smoky quality that will convince even the pickiest eaters to finish their vegetables.
- Green Bean Casserole Without Canned Soup. If you're a purist, you might enjoy this spin on traditional green bean casserole because it's made without canned soup or canned fried onions.
- Vegan Green Bean Casserole. Many people wouldn't consider holiday dinners complete without green bean casserole. This recipe turns the creamy, bubbly, French fried-onion topped staple into a dish that even those who avoid animal products can enjoy.
- Marinated Green Beans. A zesty, shallot-laden vinaigrette marinates these green beans for a fresh and bright presentation. They work great as a side dish with a hearty steak, atop a salad, or even as a garnish for a burger or sandwich.
- Chinese Green Beans. Toss your green beans in a smoking hot wok instead of boiling them and you end up with crispy, slightly browned beans with a tender center.
- Vegan Asian Green Beans. For a unique vegan side dish, try tossing fresh green beans with sherry or rice wine, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sugar. Steaming them and then sauteeing them in a wok with the sauce ensures each bean gets perfectly coated, and a little crispy too.
- Green Beans With Za'atar Breadcrumbs. Green beans topped with breadcrumbs and za'atar seasoning gives them a spiced element and a nice crunch that switches things up from the usual plain, steamed veggies.
- Green Bean Amandine. This classic green bean recipe combines crisp-tender green beans, slivered or blanched almonds, a hit of lemon juice, and a hint of garlic for a side dish that brings the crunch.
