Notes

Expert Tips

I've made this recipe A LOT so have a few tips and tricks that will make these delicious Low Carb Green Beans perfect every time.
  1. Buy fresh green beans without any brown marks and try to get them no longer than one day before you plan on making this recipe. Green beans brown very quickly and you want them at their best!
  2. Fry the bacon until super crispy otherwise you could lose the yummy crunch to this dish.
  3. Roasted almonds are important otherwise the other ingredients will drown out their yummy flavour.
  4. A tight fitting lid is a good idea so that the green beans can be steamed effectively.
