Fresh Frozen Green Beans Recipes

This Italian green bean recipe is my favorite way to eat green beans. It's incredibly simple and delicious!

Green beans and onions are lightly sautéed in only one tablespoon of oil.

great low fat low calorie version of original

Serve over salad as you would a taco salad. Garnish with salsa and nonfat sour cream

A meatless filling with black beans, corn, and green chilies. Yum

Dress up your green beans. Miso is a perfect replacement for butter in most sauteed dishes and offers a nice earthy, salty note to the beans.

You can mix and match any of the vegetables you have on hand in the herbs, onion, garlic, broth and stewed tomatoes as the base stock. You can also substitute vegetable broth and make it a vegetarian recipe.

Easy to make, delicious, great for the coming cold weather - or any time!

Yummy side dish

A lower calorie alternative to guacamole, serve this with tortilla chips or use as a sandwich spread.

I am not one who measures my ingredients a lot - I am more of the cook who chops and dumps into the pot!!!! So I apologize in advance if I am a little off with the amounts/measurements!!!

I buy a lot of my produce fresh from a local stand - so for the green beans, I buy them in the green cardboard box like container. I am guessing there is about 4 cups in there?!?!

This recipe can always be adjusted to taste and seasoning it is up to your imagination!!!

Low fat dip for veggies

An easy and delicious dinner option

My hubby isn't a breakfast guy, but he will gladly consume a smoothie every morning. The secret is the frozen banana! Otherwise, I mix it up every day and simply follow the basic formula of one cup fresh fruit + 1/2 c. frozen fruit and 1/2 frozen banana + 1/2 c. liquid. The liquid can be fruit juice or milk or even yogurt. When that bunch of bananas on your counter is starting to look sad, peel 'em, break in half and stick in the freezer so the secret ingredient is always on hand!

Vegetarian Version of a Classic Comfort Food! You can still enjoy the great taste while being compassionate to animals.

Zucchini and fresh green beans grilled with olive oil and mushrooms - delicious and nutritious without the added calories and fat of breading and deep frying.

Soup

Low fat. Serve with bread if desired.

This is a family favorite!

This is a great salad for a summer potluck or cookout. Proteins from the beans and quinoa also make this a bright summer lunch.

If you are in a hurry, you can just use canned beans and increase the vegetable broth to 6 cups. The cannellini beans can be made the day before, stored in their broth and used when you make your soup. This is how this becomes a "quick" minestrone.
In the winter/spring I use frozen green beans and canned tomatoes from my summer garden and fresh chard which grows like a blessing all year round. In the summer, in goes the ubiquitous zucchini. This quick minestrone has about 7 servings of veggies in each bowl!
