Instructions
Creamed Green Beans
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the green beans, can use fresh or frozen. Cook until the green beans are slightly softened. If using frozen beans, cook until they are completely thawed.
- Stir in the heavy cream, add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- Cook this while stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes until green beans are softened to desired texture. If you prefer beans that are really soft, they will need to cook longer.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the parmesan cheese while it melts and add a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. As the sauce cools it will thicken. Allow to sit for several minutes before serving.
Crispy Shallot Topping
- Use a mandolin or fine slicing blade on a food processor to thinly slice the shallots. You can also use your knife, being sure to slice the shallots as thinly as possible.
- Heat half of the oil in a small skillet and add in the thinly sliced shallots.
- Cook while stirring until the shallots begin to brown.
- Stir in the panko, salt, dried rosemary, and dried parsley. Drizzle with the remaining oil and stir until the shallots are coated with the panko mixture.
- Cook until panko is browned. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Serving
- Serve the creamed green beans topped with the crispy shallot topping for a beautiful holiday dish! To keep things low carb, you can opt out of the crispy topping and enjoy the creamed green beans on their own.
