No, it’s not exactly the same as the French’s crunchy onions. In the end, I decided to focus on a flavorful roasted onion and then an almond topping to add some crunch. The flavor is incredible! I considered coating onions in flour and frying them a little to achieve a crunchy texture. Onions-I skip the french fried onions for the crispy onion topping and use fresh onions that we roast to a golden brown.I think you’re going to be impressed with the list of fresh, healthy ingredients that make up this Healthy Green Bean Casserole. It’s a totally vegan Green Bean Casserole, actually, and it’s made with all fresh ingredients. The result was a healthy Green Bean Casserole that gives the original a run for its money! It ended up gluten free and dairy free. I studied the original recipe and set to create the same flavors and textures, but without the overly processed cream of mushroom soup and French’s fried onions you find in the original version. I had to recreate Green Bean Casserole for Lisa. She, along with a handful of other readers, motivated and inspired me to keep sharing my recipes here. She tried a lot of my early recipes and always came back and commented to let me know she loved them. That may sound weird, because I don’t even know Lisa.īut Lisa was one of my earliest readers who would comment on posts. This particular Lisa has a special place in my blogging heart. A reader named Lisa responded with Green Bean Casserole. So why did I give a recipe makeover to a dish I didn’t like in the first place? Well, a while back I asked my readers, via Facebook, to which dishes they’d like to see me give a healthy makeover for their Thanksgiving dinner. Even before I stopped eating as many processed foods, it just wasn’t my favorite. The truth is, I’ve never liked the traditional green bean casserole. I want real food and I know that’s what you’re looking for, too. We don’t want a casserole that’s full of processed foods and inflammatory ingredients. I don’t know one woman, whether she works outside of the home or not, who calls herself a housewife, and we don’t want to eat that crap anymore. Sorry Campbell’s, but times have changed. ![]() It was a great marketing ploy as Green Bean Casserole became an iconic part of Thanksgiving dinner across the United States. They wanted to inspire “housewives” to use more cream of mushroom soup. But after sitting about 10 min it had thickened up nicely.This Healthy Green Bean Casserole is made 100% from scratch with nourishing ingredients! It’s lightened up and a vegan and gluten-free side dish that will be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving menu.Ĭlassic Green Bean Casserole was first invented in 1955 by the Campbell’s Soup Company. ![]() After removing from oven the sauce is still not thick enough, still runny. Next time I would cover with parchment, then foil, shiny side down and remove after baking for 10 min and bake an additional 10 min. I removed them when I saw the crumbs were much browner. Then I baked them at 400 for about 15 minutes. They never got any browner, so after a few minutes of stirring, I spread them evenly over the green beans. I’d probably season them next time, but leave out the toasting step. I added sea salt and black pepper and “toasted” the bread crumbs. I spread that around and poured in an amount of panko bread crumbs I eyeballed, that would cover the green beans. Next I rinsed my pan, got most of the water dried off and melted 1 tsp of vegan butter in the pan. Once it was slightly thickened I poured it over the green beans in the casserole dish, making sure sauce went down to cover all the green beans. I did season with sea salt and black pepper and stirred occasionally to prevent lumps. I put the pan back on the burner on 3 and waited for it to thicken and simmer. Next I added 1.5 cups of Berekey filtered water & 2 cups of home made vegan creamer (soaked/drained almonds & cashews blended with clean water-essentially thicker non dairy milk), into the pan as I stirred the onions and flour. I removed the pan from the burner and sprinkled double the amount of flour (all purpose) over the onions and mixed it in. But I love them and am sure they would be wonderful in this dish. I omitted the mushrooms because my son does not like them. It instantly smelled like heaven! I drained 2 cans of organic green beans (not french style), and added them to a small casserole dish (next time I will use a medium sized dish). I planned to go no oil, but decided I’d use a little since it was Thanksgiving (2021), so I added 1 teaspoon of vegan butter. It came out fantastic! This is what I did:ĭiced a large yellow onion and caramelized it in a non-stick pan, then added 6 large minced cloves of garlic.
