Healthy Green Bean Casserole Recipe – The Perfect Family Side Dish for Thanksgiving Posted by Lyndsey Piccolino | food | 0

To create a delicious Thanksgiving meal at home can be easier and healthier than you might think! One of our favorite Thanksgiving side dishes is green bean casserole. But, if you’ve ever had the traditional recipe, you know that it can be full of heavy ingredients.

With just a few quick switches, we’ve lightened it up considerably, making it better-for-you, but still super tasty!

Our healthier green bean casserole doesn’t skimp on the good stuff, we just make better choices – like the crispy air fried onions! So much better than canned onions, and no need to douse in heavy oils.

We also recommend opting for fresh green beans if they’re available (we like the “French” variety), but frozen will work too (and luckily they’re just as nutritious!).

Chef’s note: If you don’t have an air fryer, you can still create crispy fresh onions to top your green bean casserole. You can add them to a sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray (we like avocado oil spray for the healthy fats) and crisp them at 450F for about 20 minutes, stirring them around throughout.
