Brussels sprouts rank high up on the list of favorite vegetables for my kiddos so we almost always have some on hand. Typically we simply roast them with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, which is delicious enough. But it was time to branch out and try something new so we made this Vegan Brussels Sprouts Gratin and friends it is delish! Like the whole family loved it, a total win in my book!

The best part about this dish, besides the fact that is it so yummy, is how easy it is to make. It uses simple ingredients and is ready in about 30 minutes making it great for those days when you want a cozy home cooked dish that doesn't require a lot of work or time.

Raw Brussels sprouts in a colander.

prep the brussels sprouts

To start you'll need to prep the Brussels sprouts. Be sure to trim the ends and remove any yellowing outer leaves then simply cut in half. This is a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen. Older kids can help with trimming and cutting the sprouts while younger ones can help with pulling off any outer leaves.

how to make it

To cut down on bake time I opted to boil the sprouts briefly for about 5 minutes before adding them to the very simple cream sauce. Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil and then sprinkle with a bit of flour. Add vegetable broth and non dairy milk and the flour will thicken the liquid into a creamy sauce to coat the sprouts before topping with vegan parmesan and baking to crispy deliciousness.

vegan parmesan variations

Vegan parmesan is what really takes these Brussels sprouts up a notch and adds a wonderful "cheesy" flavor. We used a hemp seed version we've been making for a while now. We love it because there's no special equipment needed to match a batch. The recipe for that version is included below, but if you don't have hemp seeds or prefer a cashew based parmesan, check out this guide.
