This Paleo Low FODMAP Green Bean Casserole is easy to make, full of flavor, and a healthy side dish. The green beans are covered in a creamy sauce and topped with bacon. Gluten free, dairy free, and Whole30.
This is very last minute, but I really wanted to get it up in case you're looking for a low FODMAP dish for Thanksgiving. I already have a Paleo Whole30 Green Bean Casserole on my site, but it uses a cream of mushroom which isn't low FODMAP. This is similar to that recipe, but the cream sauce is mushroom and onion free. It uses garlic oil, green onion, and fresh herbs for flavor.
The cream sauce is so simple to make. A mixture of ghee and cassava flour make the roux and some broth and almond milk are added in for creaminess. I used frozen green beans (2-10oz bags), but you could even use canned green beans if you prefer them softer. They do have a little crunch to them still, which isn't bad, it's just about personal preference.
I still went with the crispy bacon topping because it's delicious and pretty easy. While the casserole bakes, chop up some bacon and cook it in a pan until it's almost crispy. Drain the grease then add it to the top of the green beans and bake a little longer. So easy and it adds great crunch and flavor.
This is a dish everyone will love. Creamy green beans and bacon is a definite crowd pleaser.
This green bean casserole is the perfect Thanksgiving side dish, but is also good all year long. A fun, tasty way to eat veggies.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 2 quart dish. Set aside.
