Healthier Green Bean Casserole

November 18, 2019

I have actually never had Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving… but I know its a popular dish so I figured why not whip up a healthier version!

Ingredients: 

  • 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan
  • 2 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 4 Tbsp. Oil (Olive Oil or Avocado Oil)
  • 2.5 Lb.s of green beans – trimmed
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion sliced thin
  • 8 Ounces Cremini Mushrooms
  • 3 Tbsp. Almond Flour
  • 2 Cups Non-Fat Milk
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 Tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1/4 Tsp. Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 Cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven to a broil – oven rack should be positioned in the upper third of the oven. Spray an oven-safe baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Blanch the green beans
    1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook green beans for about 5 minutes
    2. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl with ice and water, plunge into ice bath to stop the cooking and then transfer to a towel to dry.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add onion and mushrooms stirring frequently till the onions are soft and the mushrooms have given up their liquid. Roughly 15 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle the flour and stir until the flour turns golden. About 2 Minutes.
  5. While stirring, slowly add in milk, try to avoid any lumps.
  6. Stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  7. Cook for 10 minutes, until it reduces and thicken to resemble a creamy gravy.
  8. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine cheese, 2 tbsp of olive oil and parsley.
  9. Remove from the heat and quickly stir in Greek yogurt.
  10. Transfer half the green beans to the baking dish – spread half the sauce over the green beans. Add the remaining green beans and top with the remaining sauce
  11. Sprinkle cheese mixture over the top.
  12. Put in the oven and broil for about 3 minutes – watch closely to make sure it doesn’t burn!
  13. Enjoy!
  • If you want more of a crunch you can add crispy fried onions or add panko bread crumbs into the cheese mixture.
    • Trader Joe’s has canned crispy fried onions that are pretty good and not TERRIBLE for you.
