Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your baking dish while the oven warms up.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the fresh green beans, blanching them for 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl filled with ice water.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt vegan butter. Add chopped cremini mushrooms and diced onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and parsley, sautéing for about 1 minute. Then add the flour, whisking for about 60 seconds to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in plant-based milk, vegetable bouillon, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Drain the blanched green beans and transfer them to a baking dish. Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over and toss to combine.
  7. Sprinkle a layer of French fried onions on top. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
