Low-Carb Recipe Love on Fridays is taking a break for December and instead every Friday I’ll be sharing some of my favorite low-carb holiday recipes. You always need side dishes for a holiday meal and these Roasted Green Beans and Red Bell Pepper with Garlic and Ginger are not only beautifully red and green for the holidays, but they’re delicious!

I first came up with this recipe as an idea for my collection of Carb-Conscious Thanksgiving Recipes, but these green beans are so festive and colorful that they’d be perfect for our collection of Carb-Conscious Christmas Recipes as well. The beans and peppers roast at high heat for a short time, so they can cook while you’re coming up with the final touches on the meal.

Mince the garlic and ginger and mix with the olive. Cut up the red peppers, trim the beans, and toss with the olive oil mixture.

Spread the beans and peppers out on a large baking sheet, arranging them so they aren’t crowded and then roast at 450F/230C. Beans take about 15 minutes to cook; they’re done when a few beans are starting to look browned and they’re tender-crisp.

Season the cooked beans with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
