Scale

- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves)

Instructions
- Heat butter or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with avocado oil spray.
- Place trimmed green beans in the prepared dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the creamed mushrooms, milk (or coconut milk), ½ cup crispy onions, and salt and pepper.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the green beans and toss gently to coat.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, until green beans are tender.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle 3/4 cup additional crispy onions over the top, and bake for another 5–10 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve warm as a side dish for holiday meals or weeknight dinners. Enjoy the creamy mushrooms and perfectly crisp onions with every bite!
