Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. Add this zippy side dish to your favorite piece of protein for a vitamin packed veggie punch.

Servings: Serves 4 but can be doubled or multiplied easily. Serving size one cup for ZReduction.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cup of green beans. Trim them and cut them to a size you like.
  • ½ tsp of Truvia
  • 2 Tbl of Bragg’s Aminos or Coconut Aminos
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried, crushed red pepper
  • 1 medium-size red bell pepper, sliced  into strips
  • 1/2 medium-size sweet onion, sliced  in half top to bottom and then cut into narrow half moons
  • grated sea salt to taste

Instructions:

Spray an oven-proof pan with olive oil spray. Put in your prepped green beans, onion and red pepper. Mix them up and spray with olive oil. Put in your oven to roast 12 – 15 minutes or until the beans are done to your liking. Depends on your oven temp.

While they are roasting, in a small bowl, add the Truvia, Aminos and crushed red pepper. Stir to get the Truvia to dissolve and just let it sit.

When the bean mixture comes out of the oven, drizzle on the sauce and stir.

You are ready to serve.

Serve with any grilled or roasted protein.

Enjoy!

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
