Our 7 Favorite Ways to Cook Green Beans

With these methods for roasting, blanching, grilling, and more, you'll never have to eat bland, overcooked green beans again.

Manchurian Green Beans With Tofu

The garlic, ginger, and chile sauce that flavors this dish is one of the popular sauces used in Indo-Chinese cuisine.

Make-Ahead Chicken Freezer Packets

Imagine this: a stack of packets in your freezer that you can take straight to the oven for a full dinner in 30 minutes.

Slow-Cooked Green Beans With Harissa and Cumin

Toss green beans with tons of olive oil and aromatics and surrender the whole thing to your oven for an hour or two until it becomes impossibly soft and caramelized.

Old Bay Trout and Succotash

Steam a mixture of corn, green beans, and tomatoes in a foil pouch alongside butterflied trout for an easy one-sheet-pan dinner.

Seafood Sinigang

Sinigang is adobo’s close contender for the title of National Dish of the Philippines. Like many Filipino dishes, this soup is bold in taste: sour, salty, slightly sweet, spicy, and umami.

Grilled Chicken With Mustard Barbecue Sauce

Wake up grilled chicken by glazing it with a sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce, and pairing it with a salad of grilled onions, raw tomatoes, and pickled green beans.

Cold Roast Salmon With Smashed Green Bean Salad

Roasting salmon low and slow yields fish that stays moist and tender even when served chilled. A marinated green bean salad is a perfect crunchy accompaniment.

Vermicelli Bowls With Pork and Green Beans

Cashews blend into a creamy (and gorgeously green-hued) sauce for these summery pork chop–topped cold noodles.

Rice & Veggie Skillet with Olive Oils from Spain

This rice & veggie skillet was inspired by the traditional Spanish dish paella. Traditional paella is typically made with chicken, rabbit, and vegetables. However, this vegan version still packs a ton of flavor thanks to the fresh vegetables, lemon juice, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain.

Grilled Strip Steak with Blistered Tomatoes and Green Beans

Grill cherry tomatoes in a skillet alongside strip steaks until charred and saucy, then toss them with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and red chile for a sweet, tangy, perfect summer sauce.

Charred Bean and Pea Salad

When the farmers' market delivers you fresh, tender, sweet-and-not-starchy beans, don’t bother to blanch them. A short stint under the broiler softens them and imparts a light char while maintaining their snappy texture.

Romano Beans With Mustard Vinaigrette and Walnuts

Romano beans, also known as Italian pole beans, are wide and flat and have a less delicate texture than green beans but share their mild and sweet flavor.

Tomatoes and Haricots Verts With Anchovies

This time anchovies are not optional. They're an integral ingredient here, and it's worth seeking out quality brands. We love the oil-packed ones from Ortiz, Agostino Recca, and Merro.

Quick-Pickled Charred Vegetables

This technique is nothing short of amazing—even if you're finicky about your pickles.
