Pre-made vegan green bean casserole! While turkey tends to get all the attention, I’m a big fan of good old green bean casserole. They are simple yet flavorful and one of the many healthy dishes you can prepare for any meal or gathering. At Thanksgiving, we sometimes get unusual vegetables in our lavish spreads, but it feels so good to eat them. 😉 Plus, it’s super easy to sneak more veggies into this recipe (mushrooms and spinach are great), and there’s no canning involved in this dairy-free side dish. This recipe can be made ahead of time, making it perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.
Are you looking forward to turkey day? I can’t wait! I would love to hear what kind of food you will be making this year! Today I’m excited to share a vegan green bean casserole that you can make before your big day. Be sure to check out the end of this post for more recipes perfect for Thanksgiving!
