Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans ends trimmed
- 6 slices bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 3 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the green beans and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the green beans for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.
- Pour the coconut aminos mixture over the green beans and stir to coat them evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the green beans.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the green beans. Toss gently to incorporate the bacon.
- Finally, transfer the green beans with crispy bacon to a serving dish. Serve!
Notes
- Do not use frozen green beans for this recipe. They tend to be less crisp.
- We recommend using no sugar added bacon.
- Coconut aminos are the soy-free and gluten-free version of soy sauce.
- Store the leftovers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- To reheat, add the leftovers to a skillet over low medium heat.
