Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms and Bacon

aip dairy free gluten free paleo recipes sides

Armed with only a sheet pan, a hot oven, and a few accompaniments, you can transform a pound of green beans into a savory delight. Think weeknight easy with weekend flair. Plate them alongside seared scallops, grilled wild salmon, or a grass-fed steak, and voila! Dinner is served.

This recipe is so quick and easy and also happens to be gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo, and AIP-friendly. 

I have to pause and give credit to my husband here – he’s the one responsible for this recipe, and that usually means bacon is involved, and BIG flavor is guaranteed.

Are Green Beans Paleo or AIP Compliant?

Green beans are considered fair game by many Paleo dieters, who otherwise avoid beans. Medical biophysicist and Paleo researcher Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, Ph.D., did an exposé on green beans and peas, entitled, “The Green Bean Controversy and Pea Gate.”

Her conclusion was that compared to dried beans, the level of anti-nutrients in green beans are comparatively very, very low, and further diminished via cooking. Green beans also differ from dried beans in that we eat the whole pod, which comprises their bulk, and does not contain significant amounts of the "anti-nutrients" (like phytates) which are found in more significant amounts in other types of beans. Therefore, she recommends enjoying green beans if you are on Paleo.

Those on a strict elimination diet like AIP may wish to avoid any amount of exposure to legumes, even green beans. Once you've reached the reintroduction phase of AIP, green beans are fair game for reintroduction phase 1. 

If it works with your current dietary goals, the goodness coming off of this well-caramelized sheet pan is pretty easy to swallow. Happy cooking, and by all means, enjoy the beans!
