Make-ahead vegan green bean casserole! While turkey tends to get all of the attention, I’m a HUGE fan of a good ol’ green bean casserole. They’re simple yet savory and are among the many healthy dishes you can prepare for any meal or gathering. Sometimes at Thanksgiving, it’s a rare vegetable amongst the indulgent spread, and it feels good to eat a vegetable. 😉 Plus, it’s super easy to sneak even more veggies into this recipe (it’s great with added mushrooms and spinach) and this dairy-free side dish doesn’t use ANY of the canned stuff. You can also make this recipe ahead, which makes it super convenient for busy weeknights and special occasions.

Are you getting excited for turkey day?! I can’t wait! I would love to hear what you’re cooking this year! Today I’m excited to share a vegan green bean casserole you can make ahead of the big day. Be sure to check out the bottom of this post for more of our go-to Thanksgiving recipes!

Make-Ahead Vegan Green Bean Casserole

This make-ahead vegan green bean casserole can be assembled in less than 20 minutes and baked the day of your event or gathering. All you have to do is sauté some mushrooms and garlic, make a simple roux, and stir in the remaining ingredients. As a non-vegan who loves vegan recipes, this one is a home run. It’s super simple and so delicious! Pin this for your next Thanksgiving feast.

Ingredients

– 8 oz sliced mushrooms

– 4 cloves of garlic, minced

– salt and pepper to taste

– 1/4 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 cup vegetable broth

– 2 (14.5oz) cans of green beans. You can also use fresh green beans if you would like. Just trim, boil for 5 minutes, and blanch in cold water.

– 1/2 cup coconut cream (if you don’t want this to have a slight coconut flavor, use 2 tablespoons Kite Hill cream cheese and 1/3 cup almond milk, or other non-dairy milk). We’re making our own vegan version of cream of mushroom soup.

– Salted crispy onions (make sure they’re vegan and/or gluten-free if needed)
