Ingredients

For the fried onions 

  • ¼ cup arrowroot strach
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 large white onion halved and sliced thin
  • cup coconut milk
  • cup coconut oil

For the green bean casserole

  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 ½ cup canned coconut milk
  • ¾ cup broth chicken or vegetable broth
  • Salt & pepper
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ tbsp arrowroot starch
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms

Instructions

For the fried onions

  • Combined the two flours, salt, and pepper in a bowl and set aside. Set up a station with the bowl of flour, and another bowl with the coconut milk.
  • Using a large deep skillet, melt the coconut oil and bring to a high heat. The oil has to be very hot to properly fry.
  • Begin coating the onions by dipping them in the coconut milk, and then the flour mixture. Carefully drop in the onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side before setting aside. You’ll fry all of the onions in about 3-4 small batches. Add more coconut oil if needed. Clean out the skillet and set the onions aside when finished.

For the casserole

  • Prepare a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Using a large deep pan, fill about 3/4 of the way with water and bring to a medium boil. Add the green beans and allow to boil for 3-5 minutes or until lightly crisp and tender. Drain the green beans and immediately place in the ice water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes (while continuing on with the rest of the recipe) before draining. Set aside.
  • Whisk the broth, coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, arrowroot starch, salt, and pepper together. Set aside.
  • Add the coconut oil to the large, deep skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the mushroom and cook for another 5 minutes or until tender. Pour the broth mixture into the pan and stir well, allowing the broth to thicken for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the greens beans back to the pan and stir to coat in the mushroom broth. Allow to simmer for another 3 minutes.
  • Serve warm topped with fried onions.
