Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.

- Once the onions are perfectly caramelized, add the green beans, broth, cream, Gruyere, Parm, salt and pepper to the pan.
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and coats the green beans.
- Transfer the green bean mixture to a baking dish (or if you’re using a cast iron skillet you can just keep it in the skillet).
- In a small bowl mix together the chopped pecans and coconut sugar.
- Sprinkle it on top of the green bean casserole.
- Top the casserole with the fried, crispy onions.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. You can take off the aluminum foil for the last few minutes.
