Nutty Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup raw almonds

1 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk, or more if needed to adjust consistency

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon coconut aminos

1/8 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 cup whole grain bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Blanch green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and arrange green beans in a lightly oiled 9" X 9" casserole dish.

Heat 2 tablespoons water in a skillet and saute mushrooms and onions until the mushrooms have lost most of their liquid. Add cooked mushroom/onion mixture to green beans.

Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients except bread crumbs in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Pour sauce over beans and mushrooms. Top with bread crumbs.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees until bubbly, about 15 minutes.
