These luscious looking cheesy, garlicky green beans are baked not fried and full of flavor! Low Carb, Gluten Free, Grain Free and ‘Lick -Your- Fingers’ Good!
What does it take to get my kids to eat vegetables? CHEESE! If you’ve followed me long enough you know I’m all about that cheese! From Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole, to Cheesy Cauli Tots , Cheesy Zucchini Bites , to Cheesy Antipasto Stuffed Chicken , it’s always going to win my family over with cheese in it!
These wouldn’t be their typical choice for dinner, after all, they are children and would prefer french fries! But I had to try. I even told them they were a new kind of french fry!
They didn’t buy that, but they did all enjoy the green beans and my youngest even asked for seconds. So to me that’s winning!
SHARE IT SO OTHERS CAN ENJOY IT TO
I can’t tell you they crisp up like a french fry because obviously they are baked not fried, but they are finger food material and it works for us as a simple side for dinner. This recipe is adapted from my Oven Fried Parmesan Broccoli & Cauliflower florets which my kids love, even the cauliflower! I figure you can serve most any veggie with some cheese and it might win my kids over, maybe yours too!
Easy, simple, serving up a healthy veggie in minutes………my kind of side dish, hopefully yours too!
