Collapse ▲Warm, hearty and nutritious, vegetable casseroles are a wonderful way to use your autumn garden or Farmers Market fresh load. For most of these recipes, you can substitute whatever fall vegetables you have on hand, and you can always add try it with shrimp or chicken.
Mixed Fall Vegetable Casserole
(This one looks just like a Thanksgiving table)
Ingredients
- 2 Shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 Yellow Onion, diced
- 1 cup Celery, diced (around 5 stalks)
- 1 Gala Apple, cubed
- ⅓ cup Dried Cranberries
- 1 tbsp. Fresh Rosemary, chopped
- ½ tsp. Fresh Thyme, chopped
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 4 c Butternut Squash, cut into ½” cubes
- 16 oz. Brussels Sprouts cut in half
- ½ cup Pecans, chopped
- 1½ cups Veggie Broth
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Add ⅓ cup of Vegetable Broth to a large pot along with the Shallots, Onion, and Celery; cook over medium heat until translucent.
- Add the Gala Apple, Cranberries, Rosemary, Thyme, Salt, and Black Pepper to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the apples are tender. Add the butternut squash and Brussels sprouts to the pot and mix well
- Place a thin layer of Vegetable Broth in the base of a 9”x13” Casserole tray, then add in the vegetable medley from the pot. Pour the remaining vegetable broth on top of the vegetables, then sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the mixture.
- Bake at 375 for 45 min; if you’d like your vegetables to be more crispy (I like mine a little more crispy) on the top layer, you can broil them on HIGH for 5 or so minutes afterward. Serve warm, and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to one week.
