Preparation

1. Add ½ tablespoon of coconut oil to a wide-bottomed saucepan and set to low heat. Add the onions and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to caramelise. If they look dry, splash a bit of water into the pan.

3. Remove the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Steam them for 8 minutes. Set them aside in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
4. Once the onions have caramelised, set them aside. Sauté the mushrooms in the same pan for one minute.
5. Add garlic and stir for another five minutes.
6. Add half of the garlic and mushroom mixture to the green beans.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Put the other half of the garlic and mushroom mixture, as well as the steamed parsnips in a blender. Add nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Blend until smooth.
9. Pour the blended mixture over the mushrooms and green beans. Stir to coat, and top with caramelised onions.
10. Bake for 30 minutes.
11. Serve warm.
