Green Beans Can Take More Than a Quick Blanch
Green beans can take a lot more than a quick blanch and a pat of butter. Blister them in a hot skillet until smoky, slow-cook them until silky, toss them with a creamy dressing, or bake them under a blanket of mushrooms and crispy onions.
29 Green Bean Recipes Cover the Calendar
These green bean recipes cover the whole calendar: quick stovetop sides and full-on weeknight dinners, crunchy salads and charred beans for summer, plus the casseroles and make-ahead sides we want around the Thanksgiving table.
BA’s Best Green Bean Casserole
Fresh green beans keep their snap under a rich parmesan béchamel, browned mushrooms, and the one shortcut we refuse to apologize for: store-bought crispy fried onions.
Green Beans and Mushrooms With Crispy Shallots
All the mushroomy, buttery satisfaction of green bean casserole, minus the casserole dish. This stovetop side is especially handy when thanksgiving has claimed every inch of oven space.
Green Bean Salad
Blanched green beans soak up a creamy parmesan-dijon dressing in this punchy make-ahead salad. Chill it for an hour, then finish with more cheese and plenty of black pepper.
Green Beans With Almond Butter Sauce
Part goma-ae, part amandine, this 20-minute side coats crisp-tender green beans in a savory almond butter dressing. Bonus: It’s just as good cold the next day.
Green Beans With Tahini Sbagliato
Tahini, miso, lemon, and a garden’s worth of herbs turn simply blanched green beans into the kind of side dish you keep swiping from the platter.
Blistered Green Beans With Garlic
Six cloves of garlic, chile flakes, and briny capers meet deeply blistered green beans in one of our fastest routes from a pound of beans to dinner-table glory.
Charred Green Beans With Brown Butter Vinaigrette
Smoky green beans meet nutty brown butter, crisp sage, hazelnuts, and a sharp hit of cider vinegar. Rich enough for a holiday, fast enough for tuesday.
Hazelnut Green Beans With Prosciutto and Dates
Crunchy hazelnuts, chewy dates, and crisp prosciutto turn barely tender green beans into a side that works just as well at thanksgiving as it does at a cookout.
Green Beans Palya
Mustard seeds, curry leaves, chile, coconut, and lemon give this south indian green bean dish layers of flavor without obscuring the beans themselves.
Summer Beans With Miso Butter
Green beans, wax beans, romano beans, whatever looks best at the market gets a hot sear and a swipe through gingery chile-miso butter.
Blistered Romano Beans With Chile Butter
Broiling meaty romano beans blisters them, turning them tender before introducing them to a punchy chile butter. Regular green beans work too; just start checking them sooner.
Blistered Green Beans With Fried Shallots
Let the beans sit long enough to deeply brown before tossing them with lemongrass, ginger, and oyster sauce. A shower of crispy shallots does the rest.
The bottom line
29 green bean recipes offer quick sides, weeknight dinners, and holiday dishes using beans with garlic, miso, tahini, and other flavors.
