📝 Editor's Note

For a creamier texture, consider adding a little milk or yogurt. This casserole can be a great way to use up leftover vegetables as well.

🥕 Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 small potato, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer.
  3. Add the green beans, carrots, and potatoes, cooking until just tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Drain the vegetables and mix in olive oil and thyme.
  5. Transfer to a baking dish, sprinkle cheese on top if using, and bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm as a side dish or main course. Pair it with whole grain bread or a protein source like chicken or fish for a balanced meal.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can adjust the texture by mashing the casserole for younger children or serving it as is for older toddlers.
