This is the green bean casserole recipe I talked you about in our previous post. It’s perfect for the holidays and beyond, even for those of you that hate green beans like I used to do because the sauce is so delicious and creamy. You’re going to love it!

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Spain, but green bean casserole is also great for Christmas, special occasions or any time you want a flavorful and healthy plant-based meal.

I’m obsessed with the sauce, which is much lighter than the traditional one. Cashews are great for make healthier sauces instead of heavy cream or other dairy products, just add them to a blender with some broth, milk, salt, pepper and any flour or starch, blend until smooth and cook until it thickens, that’s all! You’ll have a tasty sauce in minutes that goes well with pretty much everything.

If you don’t like green beans, don’t worry! Omit this ingredient and add more mushrooms, some cooked potatoes, seitan, tempeh, tofu or any other veggies you have on hand. I need to try this sauce to make our pasta with peppercorn sauce and seitan because I’m sure it’s going to be amazing, besides, it’s much healthier and the ingredients are easier to get.

    Made this today as a trial run for thanksgiving. Casserole recipe is delicious. I did add a couple of tsp (ish) of nutritional yeast for a bit more flavor. Looks beautiful too. I also made the baked onions using brown rice flour as suggested. They’ve baked for 25 minutes and so far, not golden. Onions are done though. I will continue baking to see if they brown up a bit. Any suggestions?

      Hi Sara! Baked onions are not like the fried ones. Were your onions like mine (see the picture)? You could try to bake them at a higher temperature. Hope it helps!
