Healthy Green Bean Casserole
A healthy green bean casserole that is nutrient-dense, gluten-free, doesn’t contain processed ingredients, and only takes 30 minutes to make!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups Green Beans trimmed and cleaned
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt plain
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of choice
- ¼ cup Vegetable Broth low sodium
- ¼ cup Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoons Corn Starch or 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- ⅛ cup Parmesan grated
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a rectangular baking dish with cooking spray.
- Boil the green beans in a pot of water about 15 minutes until tender. Drain the green beans in a colander and transfer the green beans to the baking dish.
- Bring a saucepan to medium heat, then add vegetable broth, Greek yogurt, almond milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir constantly 2-3 minutes then reduce to low heat and add the corn starch. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens.
- Turn off the heat and pour the mixture over green beans. Sprinkle the top with almond meal and cheese.
- Bake at 350 F 10 minutes then turn the oven to broil (high). Broil another 2-3 minutes until the top slightly browned. Serve warm out of the oven!
Notes
- Keep the green beans snappy and tender by blanching them in ice water after you boil them.
- Stir the sauce continuously to avoid clumps.
- If you double or triple the recipe, be sure to increase the size of your baking dish to ensure the casserole bakes evenly.
- Store the green bean casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
