    Anytime we 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 we're secretly hoping desserts will take the cake (pun intended) we 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. We've even listed a few of our favorites that would go great with this side below:

    • Keto Sweet and Sour Chicken
    • Asian BBQ Meatballs
    • Keto Brown Sugar Salmon
    • Keto Hibachi Chicken
    • Keto Larb
    • Keto Kung Pao Chicken

    Ingredients in Keto Asian Green Beans

    • 2 tablespoons sesame oil - bonus points for a sesame chili oil!
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes - Korean red pepper flakes are super delicious!
    • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    • 1″ piece of fresh ginger, grated
    • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
    • 2 tablespoons tamari - or regular soy sauce if not gluten-free, for soy-free use coconut aminos
    • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar-free sweetener

    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.
    2. Add in the green beans and saute, 4-5 minutes until they just begin to soften. Pour in the tamari, vinegar, and erythritol. Bring to a simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is thick and the green beans are tender.
