Bacon, Jalapeño & Garlic Green Beans
FitMenCook
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
Here’s a quick recipe for all of my peeps following a lower carb or ketogenic diet. It’s packed with tons of flavor and the green beans are fibrous and hearty enough to leave you feeling satisfied with a small amount (so you can watch that carbohydrate limit).

Bacon, Jalapeño & Garlic Green Beans
Ingredients for 3 servings:
- 3 cups raw green beans
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- fresh lemon juice (to taste)
- Slice open a jalapeno, remove the seeds then chop it into pieces.
- Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat and add bacon.
- Cook bacon in the skillet until it is nice and crispy. Reduce the heat in the skillet, then add garlic and jalapeno. Cook for about 1 minute, but be careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Then add green beans and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the green beans are soft, yet still have some crunch.
- Season with a little sea salt, pepper and lemon. Stir it up, then finally, toss in the cooked bacon.
