How Do You French Cut Green Beans?
To French cut green beans, trim the ends of the beans and wash them thoroughly. Next, take a small handful of beans at a time and line them up on a cutting board with the curved sides facing the same direction. Then, using a sharp knife, slice the beans at a slight angle into slender strips, about 1/8 inch thick. Repeat the process until all the beans are French cut. French cut green beans are often used in salads, casseroles, and as a side dish.
