Keto Asian Green Beans

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 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.

Ruled Me – Ginger Sesame Glazed Salmon

All Day I Dream About Food – Asian Steak Bites

A Girl Worth Saving – Keto Sweet and Sour Chicken
