Green Bean Casserole

---

Ingredients

• 2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 medium shallots, diced
• 1 lb baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 cup unsalted vegetable stock
• 1 1/2 cups 1% milk
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp dried sage
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese

---

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13” x 9” casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook green beans until bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the green beans to the prepared ice bath using tongs or a slotted spoon. Drain in a large colander and transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil and butter over medium heat until butter is melted. Add the shallots and cook until it begins to brown and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and flour; cook for 1 minute.
4. Add the stock and milk while whisking constantly until fully incorporated. Add the cornstarch and stir until completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat. Add the black pepper, thyme, sage, paprika and salt; stir until well combined. Pour roux over the green beans and gently stir to combine. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
