This vegan green bean casserole will steal the show at your holiday table! It’s bursting with savory mushrooms and green beans in creamy white wine sauce, but it’s the homemade crispy fried onions that really take this savory side dish over the top.
Green bean casserole is nice. Yes, nice. Sorry, but that’s all I’m giving it. For me, it was always one of those holiday dishes that evokes an “Oh, that’s nice,” sort of reaction. No yelling, jumping, superhero stunts or anything like that…until I made this green bean casserole. Oh yes. It’s vegan, but believe it or not, it’s the best green bean casserole I’ve ever had. With a creamy white wine mushroom gravy, and French fried onions, you better believe there was some excitement in my house a few weeks ago when I made this. It’s meant to be a side, but we happily ate it as our dinner. Vegan Green Bean Casserole Ingredients
Regular old green bean casserole is made with what I consider to be pretty boring ingredients. Green beans (okay, so these are good), canned cream of mushroom soup, and prepackaged French fried onions. Maybe that’s why I never got excited about it in the past. Maybe that’s why my family always stuck with broccoli casserole. My green bean casserole is made with homemade French fried onions. They take some extra work to make, but they also make your casserole taste incredible. And instead of that cream of mushroom soup, we’ll be sautéing some fresh mushrooms in olive oil and making a creamy gravy out of white wine and non-dairy milk. How to Make Vegan Green Bean CasseroleYour onions need to soak in a mixture of non-dairy milk and vinegar for a bit, so start by mixing that up, slicing your onions, and submerging them in the liquid. While the onions soak, start on the casserole. The CasseroleFirst, clean and slice your mushrooms. Heat up some olive oil in a skillet and cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes on each side, until they’re browned and tender. Take them out of the skillet and transfer them to a plate.
Add some more oil to your skillet, heat it up, and add some onion. Cook the onion until it begins to soften up, for about 5 minutes. Now add some garlic and cook everything for about a minute more. Next, add some wine to the skillet. Heat it up and let it simmer for a few minutes, until it reduces in volume by about half. Now you’ll be adding some flour, just a bit a time, stirring between additions to form a smooth paste. You’ll probably get some cluming of the flour on your onion, but don’t worry too much about that. Whisk in some non-dairy milk, a bit at a time, and stir in your cooked mushrooms some fresh thyme. Once the liquid is relatively smooth you can add your green beans. Let them simmer for about 10 minutes, until they begin to soften.
At this point you can either leave the mixture in your skillet (if you used an oven-safe one), or transfer it to a baking dish. Bake it until bubbly. The French Fried Onion ToppingFry your onions while the casserole bakes. Mix up some flour, paprika and salt in a bowl. Add your onions and stir until they’re well coated with the mixture. Heat up some oil in a skillet — start with about 1/4 cup. When the oil begins to shimmer, add your onions. Fry the onions in batches if you can’t fit them all in the skillet without serious crowding. Cook them for a few minutes until the bottom layer begins to crisp, then flip them. Cook for a couple more minutes and flip again.
When all of the onions are golden and crispy, take them out of the skillet and transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to drain for a moment. Top your casserole with the fried onions and dig in!
