Easy Whole 30 Green Beans Recipe
Easy Whole 30 Green Beans RecipeThis has got to be one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made and I’m quite embarrassed to say that this was my first time using fresh green beans and I will never go back! Seriously the taste, flavor, and texture are so good, not to mention the nutritional benefits of fresh produce over canned or frozen.
My only excuse for not cooking with fresh green beans before this was a lack of knowledge. I didn’t know the best way to cook them, what seasonings to use. My lack of knowledge prevented me from enjoying a delicious vegetable in an entirely new way. I was sharing a few recipes with my Young Living family leading up to Thanksgiving and this one caught my eye. I decided to give it a try and you can too!
As an option, you can add slivered almonds for a crunch texture and nutty taste. This low carb, Whole 30 recipe is a healthy choice with fresh wholesome food.
