Easy Thanksgiving Side Dishes | Vegan Holiday Recipes!

RECIPES WRITTEN BELOW! Thanksgiving is coming up soon in Canada and we know it can be tough being vegan around the holidays, so we want to share easy to make recipes that use simple ingredients that will satisfy you, your family and the most discerning omni's ;)

02:20 - Vegan stuffing recipe
1 tbsp vegan butter (or cooking oil of your choice)
1 large white onion
2 cloves of garlic
4 stalks of celery
1 apple
2 vegan sausage links
1/3 cup pecans
1 loaf of bread, dried out (either in oven or left out over night)
1 tbsp dried sage
1/2 tbsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp salt (or too taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1.5 cups vegetable broth

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Chop onion, garlic, celery, and apple and sauté in vegan butter on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add chopped pecans and chopped sausages and sauté until the onion is translucent. Remove from heat.

Add the chopped dried bread to a large mixing bowl, add seasonings and sauté mixture. Add 1/2 cup of vegetable broth and mix well. Repeat until you’ve used all the vegetable broth (1.5 cups). The bread should be moist but not wet. Add more vegetable broth if needed. Add mixture to a large baking dish and cover with tinfoil. Bake for 45 minutes then remove tinfoil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until top is browned. Remove and Enjoy!

08:41 - Roasted garlic veggies
1 large sweet potato
4-5 Yukon gold potatoes
3 large carrots
2 tsp oil (add more if you want)
3-6 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions: preheat oven to 350 F. Chop potatoes and mix them with 1 tsp of oil, salt & pepper in a large bowl. Add to a baking dish and cook for approx 10 minutes. Potatoes take longer to cook than sweet potatoes and carrots, so while the potatoes are cooking chop sweet potatoes and carrots. Season with oil, salt and pepper and add to potatoes. Cook for approx 30 minutes. Remove from oven and add chopped garlic. Cook for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

NOTE: to cut down cooking time, roast the veggies on a higher heat (400 F) for a shorter amount of time. Because we were baking the stuffing at the same time, we had to use a lower heat. Do what works for you!

12:12 - Gravy Recipe
4 cups cremini mushrooms, chopped
2 cups onion, chopped
2 tbsp cup veggie broth (for cooking)
2 tsp tamari (or braggs for cooking)
Sauté together and add to a blender with the following:
2 Tbsp miso Paste
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2/3 tsp thyme
2/3 tsp rosemary
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Cups vegetable broth
Blend everything together and then simmer on low for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!

Whenever I watch you two, I feel like I’m catching up with friends. Thanks for the video :)

[jcynavarro]

They're both the kind of happiness and awesomeness we need right now, and while I'm not canadian.. southern Californian hispanic.. I will say that I'm thankful that they both exist. And thank them for everything they do.

[marcya]

Crystal is so beautiful and her laugh is enchanting!

[yvetterees]

Cutest and funniest couple on YouTube, Crystals laugh makes my day

[victoriag]

Omg was literally just trying to find recipes for a vegan Thanksgiving...Derek and Crystal to the rescue 😎

[Wjprinzi]

Petitioning to change "potato" to "tapato" officially

[MilaDanceSport]

When we first went vegan with my husband 3 years ago, we watched a ton of your videos. And to this day, if we feel like watching something fun together, we tune in. Always awesome when Crystal is in the video! We are making your gravy and stuffing recipes for tonight's dinner for family. Thank you!

[candiceparker]

At 3:37 I loved how you both rocked together in sync with one another. I can’t help but notice the small details. 🤗🤷🏾‍♀️😂

[samanthab]

The stuffing 😍😍. Also Crystal looks so beautiful. It would be so cool to see her skin care and make up routine!

[zoebravo]

for people in the states, field roast makes this like pastry wrapped vegan roast that’s kinda like a beef wellington vibe...SO GOOD🙌🏼 10/10 recommend

[reecesmith]

I was about to go to sleep, can’t do that peacefully knowing there’s a video of yours I haven’t seen! Thanks for everything guys! ;)

[sarahm]

That stuffing recipe looks divine — salty, savory, sweet, tart, umami. Everything I could want in stuffing.

[Joshua-weus]

Just give my the whole pan of roasted veggies too. Lol😋❤

[beccogiallo]

It all looks sooo good, and this is only one of three! You're making me nostalgic for the US and Thanksgivings of my youth. What I miss the most are cranberry sauce made from fresh cranberries and pumpkin pie, which you probably won't be making.
If you think you're lacking ingredients in Canada, well there's no Thanksgiving in Italy, no Tofurkey (that's ok), no apple and sage sausage, no Amy's, etc., etc.
I will live vicariously through your videos. Sigh 🙂

[RawVeganAthleteAndreas]

You both are an amazing couple! It is good to see you together =)

[MaxSinclairLondon]

Garlic still in their skins but crushed a little and can go in at start and protects them from burning and end up with gooey sweet garlic at the end!

[barbaramullins]

I have found that if you need a gluten free stuffing you can try using cooked rice (brown or wild preferred) or quinoa instead of the bread. Not quite the same but it is good! Thanks for the video!

[laurawinger]

I am so #teamstuffing and #teamsides. I'm single and usually do Thanksgiving solo and have often just made myself just stuffing and green bean casserole. But these look awesome! I'm so making them for myself this year. I just need to get a proper jug for that sweet gravy.

[FoodFitnessAlways]

love the chemistry you guys have together! 💚 me and my partner also have a plant-based cooking channel and we love watching you on a saturday evening (UK time) every week!

[rae]

Your guys' chemistry has really been blooming on camera lately!
