Fresh green beans smothered in a vegan garlic cream sauce and topped with seasoned breadcrumbs make up this delicious and dairy-free green bean casserole recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Fresh Green Beans (trimmed and washed)
  • ¼ cup Plant-Based Butter
  • ½ Onion (diced)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced or microplaned)
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream Alternative
  • ½ cup Vegetable Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • ½ cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and bring a large pot of water to boil.
  2. Once boiling, add 1 pound fresh green beans and cook for about 5 minutes or until the green beans are bright green and floating on top.
  3. Transfer the green beans into an ice bath and set aside.
  4. In a large sauce pan, melt ¼ cup vegan butter.
  5. Once melted, add diced onion and cook to soften, about 3 minutes.
  6. Next add 4 cloves minced or microplaned garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant.
  7. Whisk in 2 Tablespoons flour and cook until golden brown.
  8. Next whisk in ½ cup heavy cream alternative and ½ cup vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced, I cooked it down for about 10 minutes.
  9. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
  10. Drain green beans and place in a baking dish.
  11. Pour garlic cream sauce on top and stir to coat the green beans in the sauce.
  12. Sprinkle seasoned bread crumb mixture (½ cup bread crumbs, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley) over the green bean casserole.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Then switch the oven to broil and cook 2 minutes to get a crisp brown on top.

Notes

To make in advance, simply cook the green beans, make the garlic cream sauce, and toss them together in a casserole dish. Cover and store in the fridge until you are ready to cook. (1-2 days in advance at most)

When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top before baking and broiling to a perfect finish.
