/This Keto Green Bean Casserole is even better than the traditional Thanksgiving recipes It’s rich, creamy, flavorful, low carb and the addition of mushrooms makes it extra delightful! Guaranteed to be a huge hit with the whole family.
How to make Low Carb Gluten-free Green Bean Casserole
First, you will want to clean and trim your green beans. We used fresh greens obviously, but you could definitely use canned beans to make the recipe even easier.
Now, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. The boiling water is for you to blanch the green beans for about 7 minutes. Our greens were still pretty crunchy, so if you prefer yours softer, you may want to blanch them a little longer. Once they are blanched to your liking immediately drain and put your green beans into an ice bath. Set them aside.
On to the sauce! Heat the avocado oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then add the garlic, mushrooms and season them with salt and pepper.
Add Kettle & Fire Mushroom and chicken bone broth to your mushrooms and bring the broth to a boil. Once it has begun to boil stir in the cream cheese, then the heavy cream and bring it back to a boil. This time once it starts boiling remove it from the heat and set the sauce mixture aside.
Now it’s time for the onions, my favorite part. I literally started eating these by themselves! Slice up your onion if you haven’t already done so and season the almond flour with salt.
*It’s imperative that you use superfine almond flour like Redmill Super Fine Almond Flour. We tried making the onions with almond flour that was not super fine, and the almond flour would not stick to the onions.
Coat the onions in the almond flour, and air fry them for 6 minutes at 390 F. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can try baking them, but I’m pretty sure it will not turn out as good as in the air fryer.
OK, you’re almost done! Finally, combine the green beans, mushroom sauce, pour into a 9 X 13 baking dish, and top with the fried onions.
Bake for 25 minutes and 350 F
Can Green Bean Casserole Be Made Ahead?
Yes absolutely! This recipe can be made ahead and baked when you’re ready to eat it.
Just complete steps 1-11 and then, when you’re ready to eat it, slide it into your preheated 350F/180C oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes – checking that it’s heated all the way through.
