9-ingredient simple vegan stuffing. A plant-based version of this classic recipe, that is so healthy and low in fat. It’s a must-have Thanksgiving side dish!
Whether you call it stuffing or dressing, this recipe is a must in every Thanksgiving table. We know it’s also used as a turkey-filler, but as we’re vegans, we prefer to serve it as a side dish, it’s much healthier and no turkey has to suffer.
As I’m from Spain, I haven’t eaten stuffing as a child and when I saw it for the first time, I thought it was not a beautiful dish, but OH MY GOD, it’s tastes so good! My mother makes a dish every single Christmas that is also made with day-old bread and vegetable stock, but she also adds sugar, cinnamon powder and grounded almonds, it sounds weird, but it’s so delicious. It reminds me a little bit of this recipe, although I know it’s not exactly the same.
Feel free to add other veggies, dried or fresh herbs, dried fruits or nuts to your stuffing, or use any other type of bread you have on hand. It will be delicious as well!
