Pressure-Cooker Green Beans Tips

Can you use canned green beans instead of fresh green beans?

Fresh green beans are available year-round and should be easy to find at your local grocery store. But by chance, if they aren't available, frozen green beans work as a great substitute, even more so canned ones.

What else can you put on pressure-cooker green beans?

Butter and garlic are good basics to start, then try adding a splash of white wine, dried cranberries or a vegetable seasoning blend.

What can you serve with pressure-cooker green beans?

Herby Chicken with Apricots & Feta or Air-Fryer Garlic & Wine Lamb Chops are our favorite main dishes to pair with this side.
