Green beans are on the list of all-you-can-eat veggies!

They’re low carb, low in calories and make a great side to any meat, chicken or veggies.

This super simple dish can be altered for flavor by adding a wide range of herbs and spices. But of course, with just onion and chili, these green beans taste great, too. Add as much or as little chili, depending on how spicy you like it.
