These Green Beans with Horseradish Panko Crumbs are not your boring old green beans! Zesty, delicious and so easy to make!
Can you believe it’s three days until Easter? It seems like yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t it? Time is fly-ing!!
Is your dinner menu all planned out for Easter Sunday, or do you have room for one more dish?? Please say you have room because these green beans NEED a place on your table. I know what you’re thinking… green beans are green beans Mary Ann! Am I right? Well, yes, I agree, but these Greens Beans with Horseradish Panko Crumbs are NOT your boring old green beans. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty tired of the old green bean casserole that usually makes an appearance every holiday. It’s time to change it up and spice it up, and these green beans do just the trick.
They’re tossed with a mixture of butter and Dijon mustard and then topped with the tastiest panko crumbs ever. The panko crumbs are mixed with some butter and some spicy horseradish for a nice, zesty kick. Then they’re sautéed up in a skillet until they’re perfectly browned. You may want to eat the crumbs right out of the pan, but just sprinkle them on top of the green beans and you’ve got a new delicious side that will surely become a holiday favorite!
Hope you enjoy friends and I wish you and your families a Blessed and Happy Easter!
Ingredients
- Panko Crumbs:
- 2 Tbsp. butter melted
- 2 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
- 3/4 cup plain panko bread crumbs
- Green Beans:
- 1 lb. green beans trimmed
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
Instructions
- Combine melted butter and horseradish in a small bowl. Add panko crumbs and mix together with a fork until all crumbs are coated evenly.
- Saute crumbs in a non-stick skillet for 5 minutes, until crisp, stirring often so as not to burn. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt to a large saute pan. Add beans and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook until all water is almost evaporated.
- Add 2 Tbsp. butter and 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard Toss to coat. Season with the salt and pepper. Place beans on serving platter and top with horseradish crumbs. Serve immediately.

I absolutely love green beans, but I happen to hate green bean casseroles, because you can’t taste the dang green beans! So I am LOVING this dish, Mary Ann!! Just enough deliciously fun topping to really let the great beans shine! That butter and horseradish panko crumbs sounds like such a scrumptious addition to my favorite beans! We aren’t doing anything for Easter, but sitting around a table with Boy and devouring a serving tray of these sounds wonderful. ;) cheers, friend- to a fabulous Etaster!
Mary Ann
I know, right?! I love the horseradish panko Cheyanne! I hope you and Boy enjoy your Easter! XO
Gerlinde @sunnycovechef
My grand nephew Joris here in Germany says he loves your green beans. He is a vegetarian and says they would be perfect for him.
Mary Ann
I’m so glad Gerlinde! I LOVE the addition of the horseradish. It’s something different from the usual green beans! Happy Easter!
Jennifer @ Seasons and Suppers
Perfect way to enjoy green beans! I am a horseradish lover, so I know I would love these :)
Mary Ann
Me too Jennifer! I love this dish! Happy Easter!
Tanya
Hi!
We do a lot of dinner prep the day before our holiday get together. Can this be made in advance? For instance make the green beans and bread crumb mixture the day before? And then the following day heat up the green beans in the oven and then add the bread crumb mixture on top before serving?
Thank you!
Mary Ann
Hi Tanya! I would definitely make the horseradish crumbs the night before and once cool place in an airtight container. I like to steam my beans the day of though, so that they are nice and fresh and don’t lose some of that crunch. You could toss the beans, uncooked with the butter, mustard and salt and pepper the night before and then just roast in the oven at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes the day of, then just sprinkle with the crumbs if that would work better. Hope you enjoy! Happy Easter!
Tanya
Thank you so much!
Happy Easter!

Two things. #1: That green spoon is too darn cute. #2: Those green beans look and sound crazy delicious!

I think you’re right – I could just gobble those panko crumbs right out of the pan. This is the perfect Easter side. It’s the perfect any day side! Delish! Happy Easter Mary Ann!

My Easter is all planned….going to Grandma’s house! I do have to bring a dish so maybe I should bring these green beans! If I did the bread crumbs ahead of time, I think these would come together easily right before dinner!
