Hi Foodies,
Green beans are an essential side dish for any dinner table, especially over the holidays. But instead of making the same basic green bean recipe for the next two months, why not switch it up and give these unique green bean recipes a try?
The best part of these recipes is that you don’t need a culinary degree to bring them to the table. So whether you’re looking to amp it for the holidays or want to try a new recipe for your weekly meal prep, give these green bean recipes a try — they’re sure to become your new go-to side dish.
These easy Sautéed Green Beans are a healthy and tasty side dish that’s quick and can be made year round using fresh or frozen green beans. This recipe is gluten free and easily made dairy free & vegan.
Hands down, this is the best way to cook frozen green beans or even fresh green beans in my opinion. Probably because it is so easy, only needs 5 ingredients, can be made year round, and tastes delicious.
I mean isn’t it always nice to have a couple of easy side dishes that you can turn to when you’re feeling less than inspired about cooking dinner? Well, these sautéed green beans are perfect for that. They’re also a lovely side dish for a holiday meal when everything on your plate is casseroles, sauces, and more casseroles. (Related: I highly suggest adding some Roasted Thanksgiving Veggies to your table too)
Ok, so back to green beans. I seriously serve them with everything because they don’t have an overpowering flavor so there’s no competition with other dishes.
They have the perfect crisp-tender texture because you quickly blanch them before sautéing them. FYI: Blanching means you boil the green beans for a few minutes, then put them in ice-cold water to stop them from continuing to cook.
Besides how tasty they are, I love that these green beans are super quick to make; we’re talking less than 15 minutes cooking/prep time. And if you buy frozen, then you’ll have pretty much no prep time. If you buy fresh, you’ll simply have to snap off the ends.
#Green Beans: The beauty of this recipe is that it is the best way to cook fresh green beans and it’s a great way for cooking frozen green beans. If you are using fresh green beans, you’ll need to snap off the ends of the beans (which is a great activity for kids to help in the kitchen). Frozen green beans are usually prepared, so it makes it even easier. However, frozen green beans will take a few extra minutes to cook when being blanched since they are frozen.
#Butter: I typically use butter, but olive oil or even bacon grease taste great with these green beans. I don’t recommend using coconut oil because it would give these a strong coconut flavor. Avocado oil would be ok, but I like having a more flavored fat like butter, bacon grease, or olive oil to give the green beans a little more taste.
#Garlic: Definitely recommend making sure you use garlic in these sautéed green beans especially since there are only 5 ingredients in the recipe. Use fresh garlic or bottled minced garlic if needed. I have tried them with garlic powder, and they turned out ok but are definitely better with fresh garlic.
#Salt: You need to add a little salt to bring out the flavors of these sautéed green beans. I absolutely would not skip it.
Red pepper flakes: I love the slightly spicy kick you get from the red pepper flakes (or crushed red pepper), but you could use less for a more mild dish. Or substitute with black pepper, white pepper or cayenne pepper if needed (use the same amount or less if desired).
#Honey : Must use this magical ingredient to give your dish a yummy taste.
