How To Serve Green BEan and Yellow Squash Saute
Goes great with chicken, pork, or steak. It’a a low carb, gluten-free side that only takes about 15 minutes to make.
I sometimes struggle with what to make when it comes to side dishes. One veggie sides can get a little boring so a vegetable saute featuring multiple vegetables is a great way to add tons of flavor and good nutrition to a meal.
Ingredients
- Pecans– walnuts or almonds can be substituted.
- Olive oil– Avocado oil or canola oil can be substituted.
- Green Beans– cut them into 1 to 2 inch pieces so they cook faster and are easier to eat.
- Yellow Squash– can use zucchini instead.
- Butter
- Italian Seasoning
- Roasted Red Peppers
Recipe Suggestions
To spice it up, add a quarter teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese before serving.
Storage
Keeps and reheats well so make a double batch and have leftovers for a meal later in the week.
