Crunchy and gloriously green, these fresh garlic dilly beans are quick refrigerator pickles with a satisfying snap and bright flavor. Perfect for a zesty snack or alongside meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 4–6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4–5 sprigs fresh dill, including fronds (or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white vinegar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt or pickling salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon black peppercorns or red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Wash and trim about 1 pound (450 g) of fresh green beans by snapping or cutting off the stem ends. Ensure beans are crisp and firm.
  2. Peel 4-6 large garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
  3. Place a sprig of fresh dill at the bottom of each clean pint jar. Pack the beans vertically, standing them tall to fit as many as possible without crushing.
  4. Add the garlic slices evenly between the beans, and if using, add peppercorns or red pepper flakes.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup water, and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Warm gently over low heat, stirring until salt dissolves. Do not boil.
  6. Carefully pour the warm brine over the beans in each jar, leaving about ½ inch headspace. Tap jars gently to release air bubbles and add more brine if needed to cover beans completely.
  7. Screw on lids tightly and let jars cool to room temperature. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before tasting.
  8. Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Do not cram beans too tightly to preserve their snap. Warm the brine gently without boiling to keep the garlic flavor bright. Use kosher or pickling salt to avoid cloudiness. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating. Consume within 2 weeks for best texture.
