Vegan Mushroom Thanksgiving Stuffing image

I made this recipe about 5 years ago. After trying expensive croutons from a gourmet cooking store, I decided I could make them myself! This vegan mushroom stuffing immediately became a family (and friends) favorite. You can eliminate the mushrooms if you don't like them. You can make the homemade croutons days before and store them in zip-top bags or plastic containers, which makes the stuffing a whole lot easier. Try it for Thanksgiving!

Time 10h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 crusty baguette, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 tablespoon ground thyme
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon garlic salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
½ cup vegan margarine
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
1 (32 fluid ounce) container vegetable broth
½ teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Spread cubed bread on a baking sheet. Cover with a paper towel and let sit at room temperature until slightly stale, at least 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Toss stale bread cubes with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, oregano, parsley, garlic salt, and white pepper. Spread evenly on the baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Stir and continue baking until crispy, about 20 minutes more, checking frequently. Remove from the oven and set homemade croutons aside.
  • Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking pan.
  • Heat margarine in a large pan over medium heat. Add celery, onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth and white pepper and simmer for 3 minutes more. Add homemade croutons and stir, transferring mixture to a large bowl if necessary. Pour stuffing mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the hot oven, uncovered, for about 40 minutes.
