- Low Carb Gluten-Free Keto Green Bean Casserole Recipe
Autumn is here and it means cooler weather is coming. It also means that it’s the un-official start of casserole season! Now, in Minnesota we take our casseroles very seriously, and so it’s only natural that I’m taking this keto green bean casserole recipe very seriously. I make casseroles all year long, but especially love them on crisp fall and winter days when low carb green bean casserole is the only side dish that will do! I’ve updated a classic winter and holiday dish to this healthy green bean casserole that’s made with whole food ingredients, and is keto, low carb, gluten-free, and packed with fresh produce. Keep reading, and I’ll show you just how to make this gluten-free green bean casserole!
Other than soup, casseroles are one of the main staples at our house in the winter months. Some of our favorite all-in-one dinners are chicken bacon ranch casserole or low carb chicken cordon bleu casserole. I absolutely love those for their convenience. Plus, they leave everyone happy, freeze well, and make great leftovers for lunch.
Can you believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner? Since that’s when most people are interested in a keto green bean casserole recipe (or low carb green bean casserole, depending on your needs), it was the perfect time to post it.
I originally published this gluten-free green bean casserole recipe on September 16, 2017 (the peak month of green bean season – did you know?), but updated it in November 2019 with fresh tips. It’s still the same great recipe!
How To Make Keto Green Bean Casserole
Keto green bean casserole is an easy veggie dish you’ll want to make all fall and winter long!
You only need a few simple ingredients for making your green bean casserole keto friendly…
- Make the gluten-free cream of mushroom soup recipe. You can make the soup in advance to save time. Or, if you happen to have a different cream of mushroom soup recipe you like, feel free to use that.
- Saute the mushrooms and onions. In a skillet, saute the onions and mushrooms in avocado oil until lightly browned.
- Cook the green beans. You can microwave the green beans or cook on the stove until crisp-tender.
- Assemble the keto friendly green bean casserole. Place the green beans, mushroom and onion mixture, and cream of mushroom soup into a glass or ceramic casserole dish.
- Make green bean keto casserole topping. Mix together the almond flour and dried minced onions. Stir in the avocado oil until crumbly. Crumble over the casserole.
- Bake your green bean casserole until topping is golden. Eat up!
Is Green Bean Casserole Healthy?
Yes, this keto green bean casserole recipe is healthy! Many green bean casserole recipes aren’t, though.
And good news, it’s actually really easy to make your own low carb gluten-free green bean casserole! The main sources of carbs and gluten are the sauce (often using starchy, processed, canned cream of mushroom soup) and the topping (usually with breadcrumbs). I replaced both with keto versions.
How Many Carbs In Green Bean Casserole?
If you’re looking for an easy low carb green bean casserole, you have come to the right place. Each serving of this keto green bean casserole recipe has 7 grams net carbs.
Traditional green bean casserole has 20 grams of carbs per serving – what a difference!
Are Green Beans Low Carb?
Yes, green beans are low carb, which makes them perfect for low carb green bean casserole. One cup of green beans has 4 grams net carbs.
Do You Have To Trim The Green Beans?
It’s up to you! You may notice that I didn’t in the photos. Feel free to trim yours if you prefer, which I discovered I actually do prefer to do when I made this keto green bean casserole recipe again. đŸ˜‰
Can You Make Low Carb Green Bean Casserole Ahead?
Yes! You can make the whole thing ahead, or just make components of this keto recipe for green bean casserole ahead:
- Make the cream of mushroom soup
- Saute the mushrooms and onions
- Cook the green beans
- Assemble the casserole
When you’re ready to serve it, make the onion topping and bake the gf green bean casserole.

Adam
No on the almond flour
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Adam, Sorry this recipe didn’t suit your tastes. Feel free to try swapping the almond flour out with ground pork rinds if you aren’t a fan of the nutty flavors from the almonds.
Nicole Laurent
I will need to make night before and then bake at my moms after a long car trip. I have such a hard time getting things hot that have been in the fridge overnight. Does anyone have any tricks, guidelines or suggestions for what temp and how long to reheat this after being refridged ahead of time?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Nicole, Ideally, you would let this dish come to room temperature before reheating. That will give you the best results. I don’t know how long your car trip is, but it may help to remove your dish from the fridge an hour or two before your trip, so it has enough time to reach room temperature before baking.
Lisa George
Can you use canned green beans and if so, how much?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lisa, Canned green beans are cooked, so you can skip that step. The rest of the recipe will work as written. 2 full-sized cans will give you more than you need for the recipe.
Lacey
This is the Best Mushroom soup I’ve ever tasted in my life. I did add 3 tablespoons of cream cheese and a little crushed red pepper…. Thank you, I ate the creamy soup then made the green bean casserole…. BOTH WERE AMAZING! Thanks!
Sadbeka Trebinja
I have problem my boyfriend does not like mushroom what should I use instead?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sadbeka, That’s a tough one, as this recipe includes a lot of mushrooms! You can omit the sliced mushrooms from the green beans, but the recipe will still need the cream of mushroom soup.
Alison
Hi! My topping is very floury and not really crumb like. What can I do? Thanks!!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Alison, If your topping isn’t coming together, you can add an additional amount of avocado oil until you reach the desired texture.
Amanda
What is Thanksgiving without the quintessential green bean casserole? Thanks for “de-glutening” the recipe for us!
Erin
This is so tasty! Perfect for Thanksgiving.
jenna
I’m making my first green bean casserole this year! I’m definitely going to be using your tips đŸ™‚ Love how healthy your recipe is, so there’s no guilt for getting seconds!!
Judy
This was excellent excellent, Maya! I was wondering what to make for dinner tonight , and then saw your email. I got preshredded cabbage and riced cauliflower at Trader Joe’s. We are vegetarian, so I also got their Beefless ground beef. It has 4 carbs per 1/3 cup.
Hubby and I both gave it a 10! I love that there is leftovers. Keto cooking is labor intensive, with lots of pots to wash usually. This means no pots to wash another night.
Keep these casseroles coming!!
Liz
I have a son who is allergic to almonds, but he can eat other nuts. What would make a good substitute for the almond flour?
Wholesome Yum
Some crushed pecans would taste great here, Liz!
Stephanie
This is great thanks! Do you think ground beef would go with this?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Stephanie! Sure, you could add some cooked ground beef if you’d like.
Julia LaBorde
Excellent recipe! I’ve made it 2 years in a row for Thanksgiving!
Wanya
This was a hit last Thanksgiving with my family. I added jalapeno peppers for an extra kick!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yay, so glad to hear that, Wanya!
Alyson
I’ve been missing a good green bean casserole. Thank you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so glad you liked it, Alyson! Have a great day!
Elyssa
Have you tried to make the whole casserole in advance? Does it freeze?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Elyssa, Yes, you can freeze it. The sauce can separate a little so you’ll need to mix it well after heating. For best results, add the crumble topping right before serving, but you can make the rest ahead.
Carolyn Ricketts
I LOVE your website. You are the only way I have succeeded on the low carb diet. Thank you!!

Thank you, Carolyn! I’m glad I can help!
