These Texas Roadhouse Green Beans are a savory, buttery side dish made with tender green beans, sautéed onions, garlic, and a lightly sweet glaze. They’re quick, comforting, and full of flavor.

Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

1 medium onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil

1 tbsp brown sugar (light or dark)

1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth or water

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: red pepper flakes or a splash of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch green beans for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  2. Plunge green beans into an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté diced onions until soft and golden.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in brown sugar and vegetable broth, and simmer until sugar dissolves and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return green beans to skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
  7. Cook for a couple more minutes until beans are heated through and glossy.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or lemon juice. Serve warm.

Notes

Add toasted sliced almonds for crunch.

Use maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different sweetness.

Add balsamic vinegar or glaze for more depth.

Toss in cherry tomatoes during the final minute of cooking.

Finish with fresh herbs like thyme or parsley.
