When the holidays come around, a few classic dishes always come to mind. Like many of us, stuffing, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, and fresh cranberries are the culinary highlights of holiday memories. While all of these dishes are vegetarian, they’re not usually vegan. But! With a little creativity, you can easily transform these favorites into vegan holiday classics. Nervous about how your meat-eating loved ones will handle the change? This vegan green bean casserole is consistently given a strong thumbs up from both my vegan and non-vegan friends time and time again.

Ingredients

2 cups crispy fried onions, divided into thirds
1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
3/4 cup vegetable broth
2 1/2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
8 oz. thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium shallot, minced
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 pound green beans

Method

01

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
02

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and quickly run cold water over the beans until cool so they stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
03

Add olive oil to a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once warm, add shallots and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms and season with more salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
04

Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the veggies. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly add in veggie stock, stirring frequently so it blends and thickens.
05

Add almond milk and stir frequently. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low to thicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thick and bubbly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
06

Remove from heat. Add all cooked green beans and 1/3 of the fried onions (about 2/3 cup). Stir until well-coated. Top with remaining 1 1/3 cups of fried onions.
07

Bake for 15 minutes, or until warmed through and bubbling. Serve immediately.
