Vegan Stuffing

Vegan Christmas Recipes That Are Just As Delicious And Easy To Make (33)

Vegan stuffing doesn't have to be boring. Ours is every bit as flavourful as a classic stuffing. Use a quality, hearty loaf of bread and a nice olive oil to ensure your stuffing is as good as can be. Either slice your bread up to dry out the night before or toast it in an oven for about 20 minutes. The drier your bread is, the less mushy it will be after baking. Plus, you'll get those extra-crunchy tops that are killer.
