Keto Green Bean Casserole
Coming up with keto side dish recipes is not something I like to do. I'm good with meat and simple veggies, but a true "side dish" is just not something I want to think about.
So, I decided to take the hard work out of it and come up with an absolutely divine keto side dish that your whole family will love. And if it's only you - then you can enjoy this lovely dish for DAYS!
This keto green bean casserole not only fits into your every day, average weeknight meal, but it is also an AMAZING side dish for Thanksgiving, or to bring to a potluck.
How to Make Keto Green Bean Casserole
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cook the green beans in boiling water for five minutes, immediately rinse in cold water and drain completely.
Add the butter to a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat on the stove.
Place the onion into the skillet with the melted butter, and cook until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream into the skillet, and whisk with salt and pepper to taste.
Continue to cook the sauce down until it thickens.
Place the green beans into the skillet with the sauce, and toss to coat well.
Put the pork rind crumbs, minced dried onion and Parmesan cheese into a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine.
Sprinkle the pork rind mixture over the top of the green bean mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes until bubbly.
Are Green Beans Keto Friendly?
They totally are! They are a great keto vegetable choice to go alongside any meal. OR to enjoy completely on their own.
I love green beans so much that I grow them in my garden. Green, yellow, purple - I grow them all!
How Many Carbs Does Keto Green Bean Casserole Have?
There are about 260 calories per serving of this keto green bean casserole. Let me just say that the servings are HUGE and so it may be less depending on how you choose to divvy it up.
There are 6 net carbs in this casserole. A perfect fit for a healthy keto diet!
How to Store Low Carb Green Bean Casserole
I doubt you'll have any leftovers, but in the odd event that you do, this keto casserole stores very easily and nicely in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
It will stay fresh for 3-4 days! I've even been known to throw some into my scrambled eggs the morning after making this. YUMMY!
Pork Rinds or Bread Crumbs?
Well, crushed pork rinds are certainly easier that making your own homemade keto breadcrumbs. However, the bread crumbs are so much tastier in my opinion.
Sometimes, though, easier is best and so that is what we use in this recipe. But if you have the time, then I definitely recommend making your own breadcrumbs!
