Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup vegetable broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes (approximately 1/2 inch pieces). Chop bell peppers and spinach into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes, chopped bell peppers, and spinach. Mix thoroughly to distribute vegetables evenly.
- Sprinkle nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the vegetable mixture. Toss to coat all ingredients with seasonings.
- Transfer the seasoned vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Slowly pour vegetable broth over the vegetables, ensuring it is distributed evenly across the dish. The broth will help keep the casserole moist and add additional flavor.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap moisture and prevent excessive browning.
- Place the covered casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of cooking to allow the top to become slightly crispy and golden brown.
- Check the potatoes for tenderness by inserting a fork. If potatoes are soft and easily pierced, remove from oven.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after removing from oven to allow flavors to meld and settle.
- Serve hot as a hearty breakfast or brunch dish. Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Dice your vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the casserole.
- Don't skip the nutritional yeast - it adds a cheesy, savory flavor that makes this dish incredibly satisfying without any dairy.
- For extra crispiness, consider spreading the vegetables in a single layer and using a baking sheet instead of a deep dish.
- Experiment with different seasonal vegetables to keep the recipe exciting and fresh.
- Make sure to let the casserole rest after cooking - this helps the flavors meld and makes serving easier.
- If you want to add more protein, consider mixing in some crumbled tofu or plant-based sausage before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and quickly reheated in the oven or microwave.
