How to make this Chickpea Mash Green Bean Casserole

Shall we start? First mash chickpeas with garlic, onion powder, coconut milk and nutritional yeast  and add a pinch salt and pepper. Set a side.  Then heat a skillet with a bit of oil or vegetable broth for oil free cooking.

Add green beans and onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook these until lightly golden and soft.

Next, let’s the make the topping. It starts all in a small bowl. Mix onions and all the other ingredients until they all well coated. Fry the mixture in a pan with oil or vegetable broth until golden.

Or just simply put these in the oven for around 15 minutes at 410°F and bake for around 15 minutes.

Assemble the casserole: start with the green bean mix, followed by the chickpea mash. Finish with the topping. Bake for 15 minutes at 410°F, enjoy.

It makes a mouthwatering dairy free alternative to a classic green bean casserole which is often filled with butter, heavy cream and cheese.

A winning combo that will brighten up on each lunch, dinner even suitable for snacking.

This Chickpea Mash Green Bean Casserole is so versatile. You can enjoy it plain, or combine them with extras for a  special and delicious meal.

I find it’s just delicious on it’s own and so filling.

You can serve it everyone no matter what diet direction you’re following, everyone will get a big soft spot for it.

This recipe is a protein rich combo thanks to the little wonders of chickpeas which are high in fiber, vitamins, and  minerals. It’s all in here, but at the same time low in calories.

We are not done. White beans not only make this ridiculously creamy, and are rich in antioxidants. They will take care against free radicals in your body.

Also these are really energy life changer. Whenever you have long day, or are simply tired, eat some of these and you get more energy. It’s a natural and valuable energy booster, so good.

Don’t forget the last fun ingredient: green bans are an immune booster, good for bone health, high in vitamins like K, C, A, minerals, and fiber.

I could tell you a lot of more but I think no need for it’s just magic and so much fun to eat it. Enjoy and share the cooking  fun for yourself.
