Ingredients

• 8 cups whole grain bread
• 4 tablespoons vegan butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 stalks celery
• 1 medium carrot
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 3.5 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Cut the whole grain bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread the cubes evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until dry but not browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh sage, thyme, and rosemary.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the garlic, fresh sage, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth, cranberries, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the toasted bread cubes to the skillet. Stir well to ensure the bread absorbs the broth evenly. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more vegetable broth, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 7

Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.

Step 9

Serve the vegan stuffing warm as a side dish for your favorite meal.
