Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Light a candle and pretend you’ve got your life together.
Blanch green beans for 3–4 minutes. Shock them in ice water like they owe you money.
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and golden—don’t burn your feelings.
Add vegan sausage and cook for 5 minutes until lightly crisp and full of attitude.
In a bowl, whisk almond milk, arrowroot, nutritional yeast, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy-ish.
Pour the mixture into the skillet. Stir constantly until it thickens like good gossip.
Toss in the green beans and mix until coated and fabulous.
Transfer to a greased baking dish. Smooth the top like it’s a skincare ad.
Top with crispy onions. Be generous—it’s the crunchy crown.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until bubbling and golden. Let it sit for 5 minutes (or burn your tongue, we won’t judge).
