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 have to be other ways to use this delicious cracker. Lo and behold, my Easy 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 a cheesy flavor to dishes without adding cheese.

Green Beans – Anyone who eats a 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 an Easy Green Bean Casserole

1. Soak cashews for at least 3 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350F.
3. Into a blender, add your cashews, water, garlic, lemon, seasoning and nutritional yeast.  This will need to blend for around 1-2 minutes or until perfectly smooth, like cream!
4. Into a medium pan, add olive oil and heat for a few seconds on medium before adding your mushrooms, shallots, and garlic.  Season to taste and cook down till the mushrooms have reduced by nearly half.  Add your green beans to the pan and stir till everything is well mixed.  Pour your cashew cream into the beans and stir once again till everything is well coated. Transfer the beans in sauce into a 12 X 8-inch casserole dish.  Top with your crushed Triscuit Crackers and vegan parm.
5. Cover the casserole dish in tin foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350F.  Remove tin foil and finish cooking for 10 more minutes.
6. Serve hot as the perfect side this holiday season!
