Keto Italian Style Green Beans
How to Make It
Step 1
Add the vegetable stock to a large skillet and bring to a boil. Add the frozen green beans. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the liquid has evaporated. If you have any excess liquid left in the skillet, drain it away.
Step 2
While the beans are simmering, crush the garlic. Once the beans are cooked, move them to one side in the skillet. Add a generous tablespoon of butter to the empty half of the skillet. Add the ground almonds and crushed garlic. Stir to combine. Pan fry over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant and the almonds are starting to brown.
Step 3
Mix the ground almonds and garlic in with the green beans. Add the Italian seasoning, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and heat through for a minute more, creating a golden crumb to coat the beans. If the pan feels a little dry, you can add a touch more butter or a splash of water. Serve the dish hot with your preferred Keto mains.
