Classic Paleo Green Bean Casserole With Coconut Milk

This Classic Paleo Green Bean Casserole is the perfect healthy alternative to the traditional dish. Made without dairy and grains, this comforting casserole features crisp green beans enveloped in a creamy coconut milk sauce, topped with a crunchy almond flour and herb topping. It’s a delicious and wholesome addition to any meal, especially during holiday gatherings.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Rinse the fresh green beans and remove the ends. Blanch them in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
4. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are tender.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Add the salt, black pepper, and thyme. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
6. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and nutritional yeast (if using). Stir in a pinch of salt and set aside. This will be the topping for your casserole.
7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans with the creamy coconut milk mixture from the skillet. Make sure the green beans are evenly coated.
8. Transfer the green bean mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the almond flour topping evenly over the green beans.
9. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
10. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
