Low Carb Thanksgiving: Garlic Green Beans (Paleo and Gluten Free)

November 21, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

This content will be shown before all post

I wanted to round out my Low Carb Thanksgiving with one of my favorite vegetables….Green Beans.  I love Garlic, so naturally I had to dress up this standard side dish with some delicious garlic.  One good thing about this recipe is that it’s easy to throw together.  You can make them ahead of time and just warm them up in the garlic butter/oil.  No fuss!  I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  I am so thankful to have such wonderful supporters out there who keep me motivated to continue on this low carb journey.  I love blogging and I love sharing all of my kitchen adventures with you.  I also can’t wait to enjoy some time with family and friends this Thanksgiving.  

What are you most thankful for?  I’d love to hear about it in the comments below. 🙂

Low Carb Garlic Green Beans

2 Tbsp ghee, butter, or bacon drippings
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced.Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Season with salt and add the green beans to the water.  Cook for 5-7 minutes.  Drain the water and place the green beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.Heat the ghee/butter/bacon drippings and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned (be sure to stir frequently to keep the garlic from burning.  Drain the green beans from the ice water and add the green beans to the skillet.  Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Cook until the green beans are heated through.  .
