This fresh diced green beans recipe with garlic takes on a new life with this viral recipe trend.
Awesome technique provides a colorful, delicious, and easy-to-chew sauteed green beans side dish that is quick and easy. So move aside roasted or steamed greens because this dish perfectly pairs with just about any menu and is viral for a reason!
Why you will love this Green Bean Side Dish.
Under 10 minutes – Sauteed green beans are great for a quick side dish recipe alongside main dish meals. For the last 10 minutes of meal prep, throw on the skillet and let them sit side by side on the plate!
We believe these green beans would go great with just about any weeknight dinner, but we suggest an Italian Meatloaf recipe, TikTok Chicken Parmesan, or Cheeseburger Casserole.
Super Fun – I know it’s hard to call green vegetables “fun,” but dicing green beans over long strings is fun. Your kids will enjoy the new look, and the texture completely changes the consumption.

Ingredients:

- butter
- minced garlic
- diced onion & diced mild bell peppers (I combined red, yellow, and orange)
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
How to make Sauteed Diced Green Beans
- Dice green beans into small pieces. Set aside.
- Add butter, garlic, and onions to a skillet and heat over medium heat, frequently stirring until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add beans and peppers to the hot skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until green beans are done to your liking.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Expert Tips & Variations
Because these green beans are diced and look different than a regular string bean, you may be able to fool picky eaters into eating this as a perfect side dish with fewer complaints.
Extra Flavor– It’s OK to get creative with flavor variations as this is more of a technique in cutting. Try beans with garlic, fresh lemon juice, onion powder, light soy sauce, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, or garlic cloves for more flavor ideas.
With Thanksgiving coming up and holiday meals taking the spotlight, green bean casserole will be a huge hit. Try diced green beans in this classic side dish!
Topping: Optionally add bacon bits or a bit of pine nut to this dish!
