People think it’s hard to be vegan or vegetarian on Thanksgiving, but of all holidays, Thanksgiving is probably the easiest. Let’s be honest: the sides are the best part! With a few simple tweaks, just about any traditional Thanksgiving side dish can be made vegan. (Need proof? Check out my recipes for mashed potatoes, stuffing, and sweet potato casserole!)  Green bean casserole is a staple for many families during the holidays, and this vegan green bean casserole is even tastier than the standard version. The combination of flavours and textures—silky cream sauce, crispy onion topping, umami mushrooms, bright green beans—make this recipe truly worthy of a holiday celebration! Enjoy friends!
