Ingredients

• 16 oz Green beans, fresh or frozen
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 8 oz Baby bella mushrooms, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free crispy fried onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using fresh green beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside. If using frozen green beans, thaw and pat dry.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and minced garlic and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.

Step 4

Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the almond milk, salt, and black pepper, and continue to stir until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with the mushroom sauce, making sure the beans are evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the green bean mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the gluten-free crispy fried onions evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the onions are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.
