Ingredients
Scale
4 cups crumbled cornbread (slightly stale)
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish with cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and celery until softened and fragrant, about five minutes.
In a large bowl, crumble the stale cornbread into bite-sized pieces for even texture.
Combine sautéed vegetables with crumbled cornbread. Gradually pour in vegetable broth while gently mixing to ensure everything is evenly coated. Add dried herbs and optional pecans, mixing until just combined.
Pour the mixture into your greased baking dish and spread evenly. Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
Remove the foil during the last ten minutes of baking to allow the top to crisp up nicely.
