- Steamed as a side dish
- Added to casseroles

To cook these green beans, you can simply steam them until tender-crisp, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. They can also be boiled for a similar amount of time. For a richer flavor, sauté them in butter or olive oil with garlic and herbs. They are excellent when added to soups and stews during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to retain their texture and color. You can also blanch them briefly before adding them to cold dishes like salads.
