Recipes

Looking for something new to do with green beans, I came across these recipes which include green beans in salad and as a dinner side.

If anyone else needs a little help for something new for the holidays, here's a little inspiration. Photos included for each one:

I usually try to use all fresh vegetables, however, recently I tried the frozen green beans in the bag. You just throw the bag in the microwave, and 6 min. later they are perfect.I'm probably late to this party, but these beans taste better than fresh

Ok, tieing up string beans is too much work for me.  I got out of breath just looking at the pic.

This time of year I like them roasted with a little EV olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper.  Sometimes I make a dressing of garlic, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, lemon juice and oil.

Hi @QVCkitty1

I'm glad you mentioned that, I know several chefs say there are frozen veg that taste better than fresh.  I'll try them, thanks

LOL @Mz iMac

I thought the same thing!  I see quite a few recipes where they are tied in a bundle... a chore for my DH imo

Your green beans sound really good, @deepwaterdotter

ps Trader Joe's has haricot vert, the French green beans.  I like to get those, they're always tender and turn out nicely done.

Oh my goodness!  I like green beans well enough but now I’m literally craving them. The recipe with candied jalapeño sounds good as well as the roasted green beans wth sun-dried tomatoes. 

Thanks for posting @Noel7

re: frozen green beans

I like green beans cooked any old way, but DH and I have taken a special liking to a very convenient pair of frozen green beans.
