• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 stalks, diced celery stalks
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 5 cups, cubed whole-grain bread
• 1.5 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 3

Toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and celery to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed vegetables, cubed bread, and all dried herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary), along with the salt and pepper.

Step 9

Pour the vegetable broth over the mixture gradually, tossing gently to evenly moisten the bread and distribute the ingredients.

Step 10

Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 11

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.

Step 13

Garnish the stuffing with fresh parsley and serve warm.
