French Onion Green Beans

French Onion Green Beans

If you are craving the fried onions from green bean casserole but looking for a lighter dish then I have the answer for you.  This dish is easy to make, is packed with flavor, and low on calories and fat.

Ingredients:

2 cups green beans trimmed and cut into 2 inch segments

½ sweet onion sliced

1 garlic clove diced

¼ cup fried onions

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (I used Hickory Smoked Grapeseed Oil)

Directions:

  1. Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil spray.  Add the green beans, garlic, and onions to the pan.  Drizzle the olive oil/grapeseed oil over the green beans.  Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes mixing frequently. 
  2. Sprinkle fried onions on top. 
  3. Enjoy!
