Vegan Green Bean Recipes

Explore 11+ easy vegan green bean recipes! Each dish highlights this crisp, flavorful vegetable. They're rich in vitamins K, A, and C and also include fiber, potassium, iron, and folate.

Availability: Green beans are available year round, but their peak season is summer through early fall. This is when you'll find the nutrients and flavor are best, and cost is generally lowest.

Varieties: Regular garden snap beans are the most common variety, however you can also find haricots verts (French beans), Romano beans, runner beans, and Chinese long beans. The recipes below use regular snap beans since these are the most readily available and easy to find.

Shopping tip: Choose beans that are vibrant in color, smooth, firm, and snap when bent. Avoid ones that are soft, discolored with brown spots, or wrinkled as these are no longer fresh. (I also purchase organic when possible.)
