Keto green beans are one of my favorite sides to make, it pretty much goes with anything you want to eat. For one, I just love green beans – but when you add butter, garlic and Parmesan it makes it irresistible.
These garlic parmesan green beans are seriously tasty, they’ll leave your plate just as fast as they touch it! I like the crunchy texture, so I don’t fully cook my beans when I’m steaming them.
You might be asking “How do I choose my beans at the store?” Easy! Take your time to pick the best looking, non-browned, plump beans – it goes a really long way in the final product.
