12 Holiday Green Bean Recipes

Green bean casserole is a go-to holiday dish, but there are lots of ways to enjoy green beans. Try one of these tasty green bean recipes this holiday season!
Delicious and Healthy Green Bean Recipes
With the holidays approaching, I’m already thinking about all the delicious food that will be filling my kitchen. I’m a side dish lover. Who cares about the turkey at Thanksgiving when there’s much more interesting flavors in other dishes?
If you ask my husband what my favorite Thanksgiving side dish is (and that always has to be made no matter what) he’ll answer: green bean casserole. It’s a go-to for many families and there are so many variations on the classic dish.
I hate to admit this, but it’s one of two main ways I enjoy green beans. Casserole and steam-in-the-bag. Hear me say this, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a food just one or two ways!
Green beans have officially become a go-to in my kitchen, especially now that you can grab them trimmed and ready to cook right out of the bag. One of my favorite no-fuss sides is tossing them straight into the air fryer for a fast, flavorful veggie dish that works with just about any meal.
However, experimenting with easy weeknight recipes has helped me bring green beans into more dishes like this Sausage and Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner, Mandarin Chicken Stir-Fry and Chicken Zoodle Soup. They add color, crunch, and a little boost of nutrition without extra effort.
There will still be green bean casserole this Thanksgiving, but I’m looking forward to continuing to try new delicious ways of preparing green beans throughout the holiday season.
