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:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- 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.
- Transfer the Brussels sprouts mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits or tempeh bacon evenly over the top.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
