Growing up, we ate green beans at least twice a week. They’re just a super versatile veggie, and frankly, they’re pretty darn affordable whether you buy them fresh or canned. They also go with literally every protein, from chicken thighs to steaks. I recently joined our neighborhood’s little co-op farm, and my son and I love going to pick green beans off the bushes. But once we get home, I often find myself wondering what to do with all of them — butter and salt goes a long way, but only so far. So, if you have a batch of fresh beans to use up or you’re just craving something green and crunchy, these green bean recipes are about to come in really handy.
01Roasted Green Beans With Crispy Shallots & Feta
Green beans with butter and salt are great, but if you’re looking to add a little something-something, try All The Healthy Things’ recipe. The crunchy, crispy shallots add so much flavor and are complemented beautifully by the tangy feta.
02Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken & Veggies
I love the idea of setting up the slow cooker in the morning on low, returning home after work, throwing the green beans in for 30 minutes, and then gobbling it all up. Damn Delicious’ recipe for honey garlic chicken and veggies goes just like that, and the sauce is super simple and made with pantry staples you probably already have lying around.
03Sausage, Potato & Green Bean Foil Packets
Another easy dinner idea: Damn Delicious’ sausage, potato, and green bean foil packets. Just toss all the components in seasonings, wrap ‘em up, and grill them for about 15 minutes. It’s the kind of simple, filling, flavorful dinner that screams summertime.

05Charred Green Beans With Cilantro Vinaigrette
I would never think to put together green beans and cilantro on my own, but now that I’ve heard it, I just have to try. A Beautiful Plate’s recipe will teach you how to perfectly char-grill your beans — easy enough if you’re already heating it up for steaks or your main dish — and then whip up a quick homemade vinaigrette that will take them to another level.
