Green Bean Casserole 


Ingredients:

Casserole:

  • 450g (1 lb) green beans, fresh or frozen, trimmed
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup (60g) rice flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) hemp flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Topping:

  • 2 tbsp crushed walnuts
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a casserole dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the green beans: If using fresh green beans, steam or blanch until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). If using frozen green beans, allow them to thaw slightly and drain excess moisture.
  3. Prepare the creamy sauce:
    • In a small saucepan, whisk the rice and hemp flour with the plant-based milk over medium heat.
    • Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.
    • Add salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, mixing well.
  4. Combine: Add the green beans to the sauce and mix until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  1. Sprinkle: Evenly sprinkle the casserole with crushed walnuts, sunflower seeds, and nutritional yeast flakes.
  1. Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crunchy.
