I could never get enough of this meal whenever my mother prepared it

Although green beans and bacon go together like clockwork, there’s one more little hidden ingredient that makes them even better: the oven. Green beans have a lovely caramelized flavor when they are roasted. They get a little additional assistance in the recipe below from some roasted onions, making it a low-carb meal with plenty of sweetness.
You’ll fry just enough bacon in this recipe to have the fat necessary to cook your beans, but you may want to save some bacon grease for each time you cook a couple pieces for breakfast. The thick, smokey fat adds a delightful depth to eggs or chicken.

Ingredients for Low-Carb Green Beans with Bacon
