Here’s a vegan version of the Bacon Brussels Sprouts Gratin recipe, along with instructions and nutritional information:

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup plant-based bacon bits or tempeh bacon, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the plant-based bacon bits or tempeh bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and Brussels sprouts. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the almond milk mixture over the Brussels sprouts in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Transfer the Brussels sprouts mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits or tempeh bacon evenly over the top.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs with a dash of olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the Brussels sprouts mixture.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
