Equipment

  • skillet
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons
  • kitchen knife
  • Cutting board
  • whisk
  • Oven proof casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 12 oz green beans French cut – fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • 3 tbsp vegan butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms white or cremini – washed, stems removed, sliced
  • 1/4 tsp basil sweet – dried
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 4 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 cups non-dairy milk soy, almond, cashew or rice
  • 6 oz fried onions vegan crispy

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Melt 3 tbsp butter in skillet over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and mushrooms. Stir to prevent burning while mushrooms begin to sweat and garlic becomes tender.
  • Stir in flour, whisking into a thick roux (paste-like consistency)
  • Whisk in broth.
  • Add basil.
  • Add soy sauce. Continue whisking.
  • Gradually add milk, a small amount at a time, whisking continuously until gravy is thick and creamy.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove from heat and combine with green beans. Stir in 2/3 of onion rings. Reserve the rest.
  • Transfer to an oven proof baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle top with remaining onion rings. Continue baking (uncovered) for an additional 5 minutes until onion rings are golden brown.

Notes

🥕You can use fresh or frozen green beans. I prefer French cut beans that are sliced lengthwise. They are more tender and cook quicker. Allow frozen green beans to thaw for 15-20 minutes before baking.
🥕This dish can be prepared a day in advance. Pre-bake it and store covered in refrigerator. Reheat in oven (covered) at 350º for 15 minutes. Remove cover and add reserved onion rings during last 5 minutes of baking until crispy.
🥕This dish is best enjoyed within 3 days. Store covered in refrigerator.
