It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without green beans on the table. Your family might be firmly in the casserole camp and crispy onions are a non-negotiable. Or maybe they prefer sautéed green beans, for a brighter, lighter side to help balance out the richness of the mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Quick or slow cooked, with or without bacon, these green bean recipes are the perfect side for any Thanksgiving menu, whether traditional or unconventional. With crunchy toppings, like crispy leeks and elevated flavors from lemon and browned butter, these Thanksgiving green bean recipes will make you want to eat your veggies and might even have the pickiest of eaters reaching for seconds.
Sometimes simple is best for Thanksgiving sides, and these green beans demonstrate why. Salt, pepper, olive oil, and garlic are all that's needed to make these simple but delicious green beans.
Homemade bacon bread crumbs are a flavorful twist on a holiday green bean side. They're so good, you may never top your green beans with commercial fried onions again.
Stovetop and oven space are tight on Thanksgiving. Free up some room with this slow cooker side. For a special twist, we've replaced the can of cream of mushroom soup with jarred Alfredo sauce for extra cheesy, savory flavor.
This easy side requires little prep and just a handful of ingredients, but guests will never know, because it looks and tastes so sophisticated. The balsamic vinegar brings the right amount of tang and subtle sweetness to balance out the savory onions and garlicky beans.
Why make two separate vegetable sides when you can roll them into one delicious dish? Plus, this Thanksgiving reen beans recipe can be made up to three days in advance for the ultimate stress-free side.
The term almondine may sound fancy or complicated but is a fairly simple way of making any vegetable taste great. It's the French cooking technique of garnishing something with crunchy almonds, a touch of fresh lemon, and browned butter. In this recipe, we use it to bring nutty flavor to green beans.
If you prefer your Thanksgiving green beans cooked down with flavorful ham hocks, then this is the side dish for you. It's a no frills recipe that requires few ingredients and just a little patience as the beans slowly cook.
For a recipe with so few ingredients, it really packs a flavorful punch on the plate. From the salty shallot-bacon topping to the tomato paste and chicken broth glaze that "smothers" the beans, this vegetable side is anything but boring.
No one will even miss the store-bought fried onions once they try these homemade crispy leeks, a real game changer on this otherwise classic green bean casserole.
Using both the lemon zest and juice ensures the crisp and crunchy green beans are a bright and refreshing palette cleanser among all the cheesy, buttery goodness on the Thanksgiving table.
If you want to make green beans like Grandma used to, this is the recipe for you. Topped with crunchy bits of bacon and flavored with fresh thyme, this nostalgic side is bursting with flavor.
