0 0 Published Aug 09, 2024, Updated Oct 27, 2024 We’ve also been grilling up a storm this summer so we’ve been making a lot of my chicken marinade and grilled salmon to serve alongside these green beans for dinner, but they’d also make for a wonderful holiday side dish. Green beans are always a must at our Thanksgiving table (I love my healthy green bean casserole)!

Here’s what I would pair it with for Thanksgiving dinner: air fryer turkey breast, healthy sweet potato casserole, creamed corn, sourdough stuffing, broccoli cranberry salad and dutch apple pie.
How to Store Leftovers
We usually never have leftovers (my whole family gobbles these green beans up!) but if you have leftovers store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. To reheat, just cook in a skillet on the stovetop for 5-10 minutes until warm. You can also reheat them in the air fryer or microwave. Just note that the beans will get soft if you reheat them in the microwave.
