These blistered green beans make a quick and easy side dish! Ready in minutes and a delicious favorite!
Green beans were the star item in our local CSA box this past week and I have to admit that I was absolutely giddy when I saw them. I’ve tossed them into fresh green salads and crunched on them with a bit of hummus throughout the week, but one of my family’s favorite ways that I served them this past week has to be these easy as can be skillet blistered green beans.
Seriously, they couldn’t get much easier if they tried!
I added a little olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat and then tossed in the fresh green beans. Within less than 15 minutes, these delectable beans were ready for serving. They were crisp-tender with just the perfect amount of charring from the hot skillet.
Once they were ready, I sprinkled them well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and off to the table they went.
So, if you are looking for a delicious, quick and easy way to serve green beans, you may want to give this recipe a try! I can’t recommend it enough!
Here’s my oh so easy skillet Blistered Green Beans recipe. I hope you love ’em!
Blistered Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the green beans and pat dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil into a medium skillet and set over medium-high heat. Add in the green beans, toss gently to coat with the olive oil and cook until they begin to blister lightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the green beans to cook on the other side. Once the green beans are tender crisp and have reached the desired amount of blistering, remove from the heat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss again lightly and serve.

Incredible! Looks deliciously healthy. A must try this summer
Hi Robyn!
I hope you don’t mind, but my comment isn’t for the green bean recipe…it’s for your Southern Bread Pudding. I just had to let you know that I have wanted to make it ever since it was shown on your website. I made the bread pudding today, and it is delicious! I confess I didn’t make it with the loaves of bread that you bake. I have been saving and storing the ends of a loaf of cinnamon bread in the freezer to make the bread pudding. This recipe is wonderful!! My husband and I really enjoyed it with whipped cream. Thanks for a great website and your outstanding recipes.
I’m so glad you loved it, Fran! What a great idea to save those ends. It sounds just perfect! xo
I love green beans. I’ve been making them like this for a few years now. In the winter I buy frozen beans. Frozen beans are so good almost like fresh, yummy.
I agree, Anne! I definitely head to the freezer section when fresh aren’t available! xo
I love a good, healthy simple side dish and this one looks incredible! I am going away with friends this weekend to a beach house we rented and this sounds like to perfect thing to make one night for the group! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I hope you have a fun and safe trip to the beach this weekend, Julia! I love super simple recipes like this one, too! I hope everyone enjoys it! xo
