Ginger Garlic Green Beans

This vibrant ginger garlic green beans recipe is a refreshing vegan side dish that brings a punch of zesty flavour to any meal. By blanching the beans before tossing them in a savoury dressing, you achieve the perfect crisp-tender texture and a bright green colour that looks beautiful on the plate. The combination of pungent garlic, spicy ginger, and toasted sesame oil creates a sophisticated depth that complements both Asian-inspired mains and simple grilled proteins.

Quick to prepare and naturally healthy, this dish is an excellent way to elevate humble garden vegetables into something special. It works equally well served warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile choice for midweek dinners or weekend entertaining. For the best results, ensure the beans are patted completely dry before mixing to allow the aromatic dressing to cling perfectly to every surface.
