Vegan Thanksgiving pt 3: Side Dishes – Green Bean Casserole + Sweet Potato Casserole

How to make a vegan Thanksgiving side dishes! I’m showing you how to make vegan green bean casserole and sharing a family recipe for my all time favorite sweet potato casserole. Hope you enjoy! Recipes below 🙂

Vegan Green Bean Casserole

1 lb green beans, rinsed and trimmed
1 cup diced mushrooms
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
2 tbsp vegan butter
3 tbsp flour
2 cups low sodium veggie broth
1 cup unsweetened almond milk

store bought fried onions

Sautee mushrooms for 5 minutes or until soft and slightly brown. Season with garlic powder and salt + pepper to taste (I did a few good grinds of each.)

Add vegan butter to pan along with flour and stir until well-combined. Add veggie broth, one cup at a time, and stir until slightly thickened. Add almond milk and stir.

Simmer until thickened (5-10 minutes) stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, steam or boil green beans for 3-5 minutes or until bright green and slightly cooked.

In an oven-safe baking dish, pour mushroom sauce over green beans. If there’s extra sauce, set aside (and dip in warm bread because its so yummy! lol) but really, this makes extra sauce in case you need it but if not, better to set it aside than to add it all to the beans, which will make the casserole too liquidy.

Top with onions and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole

2 (1 lb) cans of Bruce’s Yams or 2 lbs of peeled, steamed sweet potatoes
14 oz crushed pineapple (drain some of the liquid)
1/2 melted vegan butter
salt + pepper to taste (be generous)
vegan marshmallows

Combine ingredients, mash, smooth top, bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, top with marshmallows. Broil on high for a few seconds to brown the top. Serve warm 🙂

Note: I used the whole 20 oz can of pineapple in this and loved it. The amount really depends but anywhere between 12-14 oz is a good ratio. Also make sure you drain some, not all, of the liquid before adding to the potatoes.
