Low FODMAP Skillet Bacon Green Beans

Your green bean just got a whole lot tastier.

One of the easiest low FODMAP side dishes to make is green beans. Broccoli used to be my family's go-to, but it contains FODMAPs and is off the list for now. As with any frequently used side dish, you sometimes get bored with the repetitive flavor. Worry no longer my friend, there is a delicious solution!

By adding bacon and green onion to the dish, and cooking the green beans in the bacon grease, the yum factor goes through the roof. Ah bacon, it always saves the day. It makes all of your problems disappear. Can I get an amen? Amen!

This recipe couldn't be more simple. Take out your trusty skillet and cook some bacon. Then, steam your green beans. After they're done steaming, toss them in the leftover bacon grease in the skillet. Finally, add in your chopped bacon and green onion. Voila! You now have some wonderfully flavorful green beans.

Skillet green beans go well with just about any main course. Eat some with a good burger. Serve them alongside salmon. This is a side dish perfect for any of your chicken recipes. Get started cooking below!
