This sauteed green beans recipe is a great way to add some delicious flavors to your vegetable side dish!

I normally steam my fresh vegetables for something quick. However, I was feeling inspired to make something a bit more exciting.

It turns out that it’s very easy to make a side dish that feels fancy but only takes minutes!

A quick dish full of flavor

The white wine gives the sauteed green beans and mushrooms a really nice flavor. I included sun-dried tomatoes, which provide a contrasting color. You can leave them out, but I think they work well with the green beans and mushrooms.

And the whole dish comes together very easily. You simply boil the green beans, then add the rest of the ingredients to a skillet. Everything cooks for about 5 minutes total, then stir in the green beans and serve!

The veggies are ready in minutes, but they feel like something you’d get from a nice restaurant.

So the next time you’re looking for a tasty but easy side dish, try this mushroom and sauteed green beans recipe. It may just become your new favorite!

How to make sauteed mushrooms and green beans

This recipe is simple to throw together, so you can easily prepare it while cooking your main course. 

  • Rinse and chop the green beans by slicing off the stem ends and then cutting them into thirds. Then boil in salted water for about 4 minutes. Drain the water and set the green beans aside.

  • In a large skillet, sauté minced garlic in hot olive oil until lightly browned. Then add in white cooking wine, sliced mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and thyme. Cook and stir until most of the wine evaporates.

  • Mix in the green beans and cook, stirring frequently, for another minute or two. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

That’s it! This is the kind of dish that will impress your family and friends, and they’ll never know how simple it was to make.

How to cook fresh green beans

I love cooking with fresh green beans. 

We grow them in our garden each year. By mid-summer, I always have plenty to add to my recipes!

Whether you grow your own green beans or pick them up at the store, the steps to cook are the same. 

First, rinse them well to remove any dirt. After, I like to cut off the stem ends and then cut the green beans into thirds. 

You could just cut off the ends and leave the beans whole depending on the recipe you use. I prefer having bite-sized pieces for sauteed green beans with mushrooms.

How to cook with frozen green beans

Frozen green beans are a nice staple to have. You can find a large bag at most grocery stores, so it’s easy to keep them in the freezer.

If you’re making this recipe with frozen green beans, it’s not very different. Simply boil the green beans for longer, checking on them after about 5 minutes. 

The boiling water should thaw the beans very quickly. However, it will depend on how thick the green beans are. 

Just be sure to check on them as they boil. You want them to be soft but still have a bit of crunch.
