Ingredients

• 1 loaf stale sourdough bread
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 medium celery stalks
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Slice the sourdough loaf into 1-inch cubes and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 15 minutes, until dried and slightly golden. Remove and let cool.

Step 3

While the bread is toasting, finely chop the onion, celery, and carrots, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft.

Step 5

Add the celery, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the thyme, rosemary, and sage, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in 2 cups of vegetable broth, salt, and pepper, making sure the bread is fully moistened but not soggy.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is crisp and golden.

Step 10

To make the gravy, melt the vegan butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 11

Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, creating a roux.

Step 12

Slowly add the remaining 1 cup of vegetable broth, while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 13

Stir in the soy sauce, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and a dash of black pepper.

Step 14

Bring the gravy to a simmer and let it thicken, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

Step 15

Serve the vegan classic stuffing warm with the gravy poured over the top.
