Ingredients

1.5 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tbsp dairy-free butter or olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
2 cups unsweetened, unflavored dairy-free milk (oat or almond milk recommended)
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tbsp tamari or coconut aminos
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1.5 cups gluten-free crispy fried onions (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Prepare Green Beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain well.
Make Cream Sauce: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt dairy-free butter or heat olive oil. Add onion and mushrooms; sauté until softened and browned (5-7 mins). Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Build Roux & Whisk Liquids: Sprinkle in gluten-free flour and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in dairy-free milk and vegetable broth until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until thickened.
Season Sauce: Stir in tamari, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Combine & Assemble: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Stir the blanched green beans into the cream sauce. Pour mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Bake Casserole: Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and heated through.
Add Topping & Finish: Remove from oven. Sprinkle with gluten-free crispy fried onions. Return to oven for 5-10 minutes, or until topping is golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
