Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, or another festive occasion that brings family and friends together, you can bet your last dumbbell that it’s gonna involve food.
Turkey, gravy, stuffing—delicious but also kinda heavy on the calories.

Yes, you heard that right! A Green Bean Casserole that won’t have you feeling like you need to do 1000 burpees the next day.

Guilt Free Green Bean Casserole
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs green beans cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion sliced thin
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2.5 cups low fat milk
- 1.5 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Toss green beans in a bowl with one tablespoon of olive oil, then divide evenly into two baking sheets.
- Roast green beans in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they become tender.
- While the green beans are roasting, grab a saucepan and heat one tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
- Add onions and cook until soft. Then, add flour and salt, followed by milk. Keep stirring the sauce for about 4 minutes, or until it thickens.
- Once the green beans are done roasting, preheat your oven to broil.
- Transfer half of the green beans to a baking sheet, then cover them with half of the sauce. Add the remaining green beans and cover them with the rest of the sauce.
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and the remaining oil, then sprinkle the mixture over the green beans.
- Place green beans in the oven and broil for 2-4 minutes. Keep a close eye on to make sure the breadcrumbs become brown on top.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
