The Best Vegan Stuffing
Description
This vegan stuffing starts by allowing diced sourdough baguette to dry overnight, then baking briefly to toast it lightly. Meanwhile, onions, celery, apple, and vegan sausage are sautéed in vegan butter until softened and fragrant. Fresh herbs including sage, rosemary, and thyme add savory depth, balanced by the sweetness of dried cranberries and the freshness of parsley.
The mixture is combined with the toasted bread and drizzled with vegetable broth to moisten it just enough to bind the stuffing without making it soggy. Baking covered, then uncovered, produces a crisp top layer and tender interior.
The stuffing serves as a comforting dish compatible with vegan meals or holiday spreads. Adjusting broth quantity is key to achieving the right texture—moist but not leaking. Using dry bread rather than overly stale bread maintains the best texture.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ sourdough baguette diced
- ⅓ cup vegan butter
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 ribs celery thinly sliced
- 1 large apple Granny Smith variety, diced
- 2 links vegan sausage diced
- 1 ½ tablespoons sage fresh, chopped
- 3 teaspoons rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- ⅓ cup parsley fresh, minced
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- 1 ¾ cups vegetable broth
Instructions
- In a large half sheet baking pan, spread out the diced baguette and allow to dry out overnight.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegan butter. Add the onion, celery, apple, and vegan sausage (if using), and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in sage, rosemary, and thyme, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and transfer to a 9x13 casserole dish along with the bread.
- Stir in parsley, and cranberries, and drizzle the vegetable broth. Mix well.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Notes
- Adjust broth amounts to achieve moist stuffing that holds shape without excess liquid.
- Day-old bread is ideal; avoid overly stale bread to preserve texture quality.
- Pre-chopped vegetables can save preparation time.
