Baked Green Beans

Baked green beans that are absolutely delicious with four ingredients to make it a quick recipe the whole family will enjoy and come back for more.

This year we decided to try growing a few things we have never grown before, and the one I am going to talk about today is green beans. We ordered Bush Bean Contender from burpees in seed form. I have never been lucky with seeds except for cucumbers, so I thought I was going to fail miserably. I was completely wrong. In 6-8 weeks, we had all these green beans pictured below and even more are out there in the bushes.

Did you know?

Green beans are a low-calorie food that provides many key nutrients that your bones, skin, and hair need. They are a good source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, folate, vitamin K, and silicon.

How to pick the good ones:

Per The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a green bean at its peak should have a vivid color with a firm texture and make that unmistakable “snap” when broken.

How to store fresh green beans:

They freeze well, especially if you harvest them while slender and freeze them whole. If you do not use them right away, you can refrigerate them for a few days. If they begin to wrinkle, they are no longer at their peak of freshness.

Side Dish Winner for Thanksgiving Dinner?

I asked my husband if I should make these for Thanksgiving, and he told me no because he wouldn’t want to share them. They are good, so I can’t complain that much.

Supplies needed:

• Bowl for mixing
• Knife or Kitchen Shears for trimming the ends from the beans

Notes

You can add some salt and pepper or garlic for additional flavor.

I have tried my recipe with panko breadcrumbs, but Italian breadcrumbs are our favorite due to them having more flavor.

I have topped the green beans with Parmesan cheese a few times a few minutes (5 minutes or less) before completely removing from the oven.

My kids enjoyed this recipe so much that they asked for seconds. Yes, you read that correctly! Seconds and thirds of baked green beans, a vegetable. I really can't complain because I go back for seconds too.
