How to Prepare Plant-Based Holiday Stuffing [Vegan]

To prepare the bread, cut it into 1/2" -inch cubes. You can let the bread dry out, uncovered on the counter, for up to 24 hours.
Next, prepare the mirepoix and the fresh herbs. Lastly, gather the remaining ingredients. The amount of poultry seasoning you add will depend on how strong your poultry seasoning is and your personal preference. I personally like my stuffing to have a strong poultry seasoning note to it.
Before you start cooking the stuffing, make sure your oven is on and set to 350°F.
To assemble the stuffing, melt the non-dairy butter in a large frypan over medium-low heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and fresh herbs and let cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mirepoix becomes translucent.
Meanwhile, add the bread to a large bowl and set it aside.
Once the vegetables are cooked, add them to the bread and toss to combine. Next, pour the stock over the bread mixture, a bit at a time.
Toss and continue to add the liquid until the bread mixture is quite wet. The amount of stock needed will depend on how much bread you had and the number of vegetables. *Note: If desired, you can add a bit of flax egg to help bind the stuffing, but we generally don’t bother.
Next, place the stuffing into a greased casserole dish. Cover and bake the stuffing for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake uncovered for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
Once the stuffing is golden brown, remove it from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

- Add your own flair and favorite flavors to this simple stuffing by incorporating items such as chestnuts, mushrooms, and different vegetables. - Just make sure the ratio is about 1 part vegetables/mirepoix to 2 parts bread.
