Sweet & Spicy Prosciutto Wrapped Green Beans

These low-carb Sweet and Spicy Prosciutto Wrapped Green Beans are a super easy delicious keto side dish that’s easy enough for weeknight dinners but pretty enough for a holiday table!

I just love the combination of the sweet and salty flavor which pairs great with the rich prosciutto. If you’re not a fan of spice you can leave out the cayenne pepper. To make this dish even easier to prepare look for prepackaged fresh green beans that have already been trimmed, this will save you a few minutes of prep.

You can also freeze these bundles and simply reheat a few when needed, they freeze really well and only need a few minutes under your broiler to reheat and crisp back up.

Step-by-step

1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (conventional), or 155 °C/ 310 °F (fan assisted). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Take a bundle of green beans (6-8 at a time) and wrap in a piece or two of prosciutto. Repeat until you’ve wrapped all of the green beans, arrange on the baking sheet in a single layer.

   

3. Repeat for all the remaining ingredients. You should be able to get 15 parcels.

   

4. In a small bowl mix together the melted butter, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and Swerve.

   

5. Brush the green beans with the mixture.

   

6. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, and then broil on high for 5 minutes, until the prosciutto is crispy and the green beans are tender. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat under the oven broiler for about 5 minutes.
