One of the reasons I started this blog was so that I could keep track of my favorite recipes AND food bloggers in one place, and another is to show all of you how my favorite recipes can be made easier if you are using the right products. Julia over at https://juliasalbum.com is one of my favorite food bloggers, as her recipes involve LOTS of comfort food. You can learn more about Julia here.
This recipe, however, is not just great food, it is keto friendly! Green beans are, apparently, lower in carbs than some vegetables, which seems to make them a perfect addition to any low carb meal. At least, I believe it does, but I am still learning about all of this. If you know better, then by all means, enlighten me! At any rate, I love this wonderful and easy recipe, and I think you will, too.
Let’s jump right in!!
What you’ll need:
- 1-pound fresh green beans
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4-6 garlic cloves
- 6 slices of bacon
Instructions
Boil water in Dutch oven; add trimmed green beans and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Drain the beans, set aside.

Cook bacon in Air Fryer for 14 minutes. Cool, and cut into pieces.

Peel and chop 4-6 cloves of garlic (depending on your garlic preference).


Melt butter in a large skillet on medium heat, along with olive oil. Add chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add in green beans and bacon pieces. Sauté on medium heat for about 1 minute, stirring to combine.
