Keto Asian Green Beans

These Keto Asian Green Beans are a great low-carb and gluten-free side dish for any Asian inspired meal!

Anytime I post to social media asking what kinds of recipes you guys want to see more, the answer is almost always overwhelmingly side dishes. Even though I’m secretly hoping desserts will take the cake (pun intended) I can’t blame you. Sides are one of the quickest and easiest ways to take a disjointed array of ingredients and turn them into a cohesive meal, especially when paired with a simple protein. These Keto Asian Green Beans are one of our new favorites!

These Asian style green beans will pair perfectly with your favorite Asian dishes. I’ve even listed a few of my favorites that would go great with this side below:

• Keto Sweet and Sour Chicken
• Asian BBQ Meatballs
• Keto Brown Sugar Salmon

How to make Keto Asian Green Beans

1. Heat the oil in a 10″ or larger cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot add in the red pepper flakes, ginger, and garlic. Saute 30 seconds just until fragrant.
