Magic mushroom sauce – this easy-to-make creamy mushroom sauce uses cashews and is 100% dairy-free. Green beans – the star ingredient of this recipe; we use fresh but you can use frozen in a pinch. Olive oil – for sautéing the onion and making the delicious crispy topping. You can also use vegan butter. Onion – we make our own fried onions which add flavor and a bit of sweetness to the topping. Panko – panko bread crumbs are what we use for the topping. They have a wonderful crunchy texture that doesn’t get soggy. Look for gluten-free panko if needed.
Here’s how we make it in a few simple steps: You don’t need to wait for a holiday dinner to enjoy it, though. It’s a delicious side dish that goes with just about anything from a vegan lentil loaf, to lemon herb butter roast chicken, or slow roasted salmon.
