This easy Green Bean Casserole recipe is vegan-friendly and the perfect side dish for a holiday meal.

Triscuit crackers have been a long time staple in my kitchen, making frequent appearances on platters, spreads and alongside my favorite dips but I got to thinking- there has to be other ways to use this delicious cracker. Lo and behold my Green Bean Casserole with a crunchy Triscuit topping! A warm, comforting casserole perfectly suited for the cozy Fall weather we have been experiencing, with a healthy whole grain crunch. I am always trying to think of new and creative ways to use ingredients, and I have to tell you this was a real hit in my house.

🍲 Ingredients

Nutritional Yeast – Nutritional yeast is a staple in a vegan’s pantry. This wonderful stuff is a great source of iron, and B vitamins. It gives the cheesy flavor to dishes without adding cheese.

Green Beans – Anyone who eats a mostly plant based diet knows the importance of veggies, legumes, and beans. So where do green beans fit into all of this? They separate themselves from your usual black, kidney, or pinto bean because we eat the entire plant, peapod and all. That gives the main ingredient in this vegan dish some special qualities:

👩‍🍳 How to Make Green Bean Casserole

  1. Soak cashews for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F.

Chloe

This was a SUPER easy recipe to make and was a hit in a group of vegans and non-vegans! I wanted to make something a bit different to what I usually make, that would be approachable for everyone. I will definitely add it to my list of recipes for thanksgiving for the years to come! Thanks Maria!

Maria Koutsogiannis

This makes me so happy, thanks for the love Chloe! You’re the best xx

Bree Ward

Love this recipe! It was a huge success at a party full of non vegans so I’d say it’s definitely a new go to crowd pleaser for me. The triscuits added a great crunchy texture and delicious flavor. I’ve had to make it three times this season for three different thanksgiving parties and I’m sure I’ll be making it again next holiday season and probably somewhere in between that too. Overall amazing recipe. 👌🏻

Maria Koutsogiannis

YESSSSS!! This makes me so happy. Thanks so much for the love, Bree!
