    This Dairy Free Green Bean Casserole is super simple to make, full of flavor, and something the whole family will love! The crunchy pork rinds on top are what makes this recipe. You can have this paleo Thanksgiving side dish on the table in not time.

    Holidays can seem overwhelming when you first start eating differently than the family around you. Over the years I have become much more comfortable and have even developed a multitude of recipes that are just as delicious as the versions I grew up eating that my whole family enjoys.

    Some of my favorite holiday side dishes are: AIP bread rolls, Sautéed Kale and Mushrooms, Vegan Sweet Potato Mash, Peas and Potatoes, Whole30 Cranberry Sauce, Cranberry BBQ Meatballs, and Gluten Free Mashed Potatoes.

    Ingredients

    Dairy free green bean casserole ingredients laid out in glass bowls on a counter.
    • Green beans-I like the french ones. You do not need to cut off the ends but you can if you would prefer. 
    • Bone broth-Adds in added nutrients as well as helps cooks the green beans! I like this brand. Use the code ALLIANNASKITCHEN to save 20% on your first order. 
    • Ghee-To saute the onions and garlic in. If you do not tolerate ghee you can use vegan butter. 
    • Arrowroot powder-This is what thickens the mixture, you can substitute with tapioca flour.
    • Coconut milk-You can use almond milk if you would like.
    • Garlic-For flavor.
    • Yellow onion-To add more flavor. 
    • Pork rinds-This is what we will use to make it crunchy on top.

    See the recipe card below for full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • Mushrooms– I love adding mushrooms to this dish as an added vegetable.
    • Canned green beans-You can also use canned green beans if you prefer softer green beans.
