Cooking Time1 hr 15 min

Cooking Vessel Size8”x8” baking dish

Ingredients

1 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon red pepper crushed
1 pc. red onion sliced
1 tablespoon Coco Treasure Organics Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 cup mushroom chopped
1 pound green beans
2 cups parsnips chopped
3 cloves garlic minced

In a wide-bottomed saucepan, put ½ tablespoon Coco Treasure Organics Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and set to low heat. Put the onions and cook for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to caramelize. If the onions look dry, splash a bit of water into the pan.
While waiting for the onions to cook, puree the parsnip. Put them in a steamer for about 10 minutes. Set aside and let them cool.
After that, prepare the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans and cut them by 2 inches. Steam them for 8 minutes. Set them aside in an 8”x8” baking dish.
Once the onions have caramelized, set them aside. Cook the mushrooms in the same pan and sauté for one minute. And then, add garlic. Stir for 5 minutes.
Add half of the garlic and mushroom mixture to the green beans.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
