green beans

Green beans are one of those vegetables that show up all year but really hit their stride in summer, when fresh beans snap clean and cook fast.

These recipes skip the soggy casserole clichés and treat green beans like they deserve: a screaming hot skillet with garlic and white wine, a savory Worcestershire glaze that reduces into something almost sticky-sweet, or a quick weeknight side with buttery garlic and crispy fried onions that somehow manages to be holiday-table worthy too.
