Ingredients

  • 10 slices (450g) bread of choice - I used sourdough (gluten free if preferred) cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ribs celery chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
  • ½ teaspoon powdered sage
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (more if needed)*
  • cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  • To toast the bread: Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
  • Spread the bread cubes across two large baking sheet. Bake for about 5-8 minutes until dried out and very lightly browned. 
  • To make the stuffing: Melt the vegan butter in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. When melted add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies soften and begin to brown. 
  • Stir in the thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Then add the toasted bread cubes, vegetable broth, and dried cranberries -no need stir at this point. Remove the pan from heat and cover, then let sit for 10 - 15 minutes until softened.
  • Once softened it will be easy to stir, so stir well to combine and serve hot. *I find some types of bread are more absorbent than others so if 1 cup of vegetable broth was not enough to reach desired texture, add a splash more, cover and let sit again until desired texture is reached.

Notes

Make Ahead: This stuffing can also be made ahead and reheated with a splash more vegetable broth as needed, making it the perfect stress-free side.
Oil-free: for an oil-free stuffing, skip the vegan butter and instead do a water or broth sauté.
