We came up with this vegan (which means it’s non-dairy) Jewish-inspired Thanksgiving dish that we hope you’ll enjoy. And since we grew up in Spain in a Sephardic household, our Jewish flavors are anything but average.
There isn’t Thanksgiving without green beans. Just forget about the mushy casserole and try this instead! Roasting the green beans gives them a nice chewiness that pairs well with the juicy roasted tomatoes. As a finishing touch we added the Egyptian, nut, seed and spice mixture dukkah.
