Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups green beans, trimmed
• 2/3 cup cashews
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (gluten free if desired)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegenaise or nondairy mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch or amaranth flour (for GF)

Directions

• Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a food processor or high powered blender, add cashews and process until fine. Transfer to a medium bowl. To the cashews, add the breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and transfer to a large plate.
• In a separate small bowl, add the olive oil, mayonnaise, almond milk and cornstarch (or amaranth powder). Stir with a whisk to combine.
• First, dip each green bean into the wet mix and coat. Second, dip into the panko mix to coat. Third, transfer each bean to the baking sheet. As you dip the beans in the breadcrumbs, move in sections of dry breadcrumbs, as they will get wet the more you dip and they will not stick as well. Repeat for each green bean and add to the baking sheet in a single layer. Try to coat each green bean with the panko mix as much as possible.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 12-14 minutes until browned and crispy. Serve immediately.
• *For this recipe, I made a quick sauce by combining vegan mayo, Sriracha and a little lemon juice. Yum!
