The Best Cauliflower Stuffing
Description
This stuffing recipe uses cauliflower cut into small florets, combined with sliced celery, mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic. Vegan butter and poultry seasoning coat the vegetables, enhancing their flavor and helping with roasting. The mixture is spread in a single layer on baking sheets to promote even roasting and caramelization instead of steaming.
Baking at 450°F, the vegetables roast for 20 minutes, then parsley is stirred in before returning to the oven for another 15 minutes. The result is tender, slightly crisped vegetables with rich savory notes from the seasoning and butter. The roasting method intensifies the natural sweetness and adds texture contrast.
This stuffing can be served as a side dish especially for holiday meals or anytime a flavorful vegetable stuffing is desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving if preferred.
Tips include slicing vegetables evenly for consistent cooking, using pre-cut ingredients to reduce prep time, avoiding overcrowding baking sheets for better caramelization, and optional broiling at the end to crisp the top further.

Notes
- Slice all vegetables evenly to ensure even roasting and consistent texture.
