This Healthy Green Bean Casserole is sooo much better for you than the traditional dish and is adaptable to almost any special diet--paleo, low carb, keto, vegan, THM, and even AIP!
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans
- 1 cup cream of mushroom soup (this Healthy Mushroom Soup is a great alternative--follow directions in the post)
- 3/4 cup almond flour finely ground
- 1/2 cup onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted--see vegan alternative in Recipes Notes)
- 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine butter, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon salt and stir.
- Toss the onion slices in the mixture to coat them.
- Place the green beans, garlic powder, remaining salt, and cream of mushroom soup in an 8x8 baking dish and stir.
- Top green beans with onion mixture, then cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover and bake for 20-30 minutes longer, until almond flour becomes brown and slightly crispy.
Notes
- AIP: For AIP, use organic tiger nut flour instead of the almond flour.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup: If you would prefer to buy Cream of Mushroom soup, here is a healthy option, but it might not meet your dietary needs.
- Finely-Ground Nuts: You can substitute finely-ground soaked nuts for the almond flour.
- Homemade Garlic Powder: My Homemade Garlic Powder is a good option if you would like to make your own garlic powder.
- Palm Shortening: You can use palm shortening instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
- THM: If you follow the Trim Healthy Mama plan, this recipe fits in as an "S."
- Vegan: Use coconut oil in place of butter and vegetable broth for the Chicken Broth in the Cream of Mushroom Soup. This Broth Powder is a great option for this purpose
