These sautéed green beans & mushrooms are a simple gluten and dairy-free side dish. They’re perfect a weeknight dinner at home or for a family holiday dinner.

Sautéed Green Beans & Mushrooms

Sautéed green beans and mushrooms make the perfect gluten-free vegetable side dish for dinner. To make this recipe dairy-free, it uses ghee instead of butter. I used to avoid eating fresh green beans because of the texture, and because my only experience with them was a poorly undercooked version at restaurants. Seriously, they need to get it together because when you cook these lovelies correctly they are so good. They’re SO much better than their canned counterpart.

My husband loves mushrooms, he could eat just a plate full of sautéed mushrooms so I wanted to incorporate baby Portobello mushrooms into this recipe. Add in some salt, pepper, and a little bit of ginger and you’ll never turn back to canned green beans again. Originally I wanted to roast these but, as I previously mentioned, any excuse to sauté veggies in ghee is a good excuse in my book.

Recipe FAQs

If you don’t have any ghee on hand, use extra-virgin olive oil
If you don’t have a nut allergy, add in a bit of slivered almonds or walnuts
The key to cooking fresh green beans is to not overcook them while also not undercooking them. Keep the heat at a steady medium heat and stir frequently to get an even sauté on the beans.
