Pickled green beans in a glass jar

Pickled Green Beans

Pickled green beans are a popular snack and condiment in many cultures, known for their crisp texture and bold, tangy flavor. These beans are often served alongside sandwiches, charcuterie boards, or as a garnish for cocktails like Bloody Marys. The pickling process enhances their natural crunch while infusing them with the aromatic spices and vinegar brine. Whether enjoyed as a standalone treat or a side dish, pickled green beans add a delightful zing to any meal. A pro tip: For extra crunch, blanch the green beans for just 1-2 minutes before pickling; this helps maintain their firmness!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash and trim the fresh green beans, snapping off the stem ends.

    2

    In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.

    3

    Pack the green beans upright into a clean glass jar, layering them with the garlic cloves, black peppercorns, bay leaves, dill, and red chili flakes.

    4

    Pour the hot brine over the green beans, making sure they are fully submerged. Leave about ½ inch of headspace at the top of the jar.

    5

    Allow the jar to cool to room temperature. Seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or preferably longer, before enjoying.

    6

    The pickled green beans will develop a more intense flavor the longer they sit. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
