Here are 25 healthy and inspired green bean recipes! I have something to make everyone happy. From the most simple salads to a healthy make-over of green bean casserole. There is pretty much a great recipe here no matter what mood you’re in.
Have fun clicking through to all of these yummy and healthy recipes. But be sure to leave me a message below letting me know which ones you’ll be making this summer while green beans are fresh and in season. And of course I’d love it if you pinned this! If you love green beans, make sure to check out our guide How To Cook Green Beans too.
P.S. The irony of this is that my green beans plants got chowed by a bunny while we were on our road trip. All that’s left are little stumps. I have since tried to get them to come back by spreading dog hair and blood-meal in the veggie bed, but they are not likely to survive. Thank goodness for farmers’ markets!!
Happy cooking!

Really versatile and flavorful. I’ll be trying out the szechuan and the orange ginger ones. Many of these look easy enough for kids to get in the kitchen and to help.
Thanks!

Thank you Liz. I think pesto and green beans were meant to be together. I love the way that shot is styled too.
