Vegetarian Gluten Free Cranberry Walnut Stuffing

Toasted gluten free bread cubes soak up a savory blend of sautéed onion, celery, garlic, and fresh herbs, while dried cranberries and toasted walnuts add pops of sweetness and crunch throughout. Everything gets moistened with a rich egg and broth mixture, then baked under foil until set and steaming, finished uncovered for that irresistible golden, crisp top. It's a cozy, herb-forward side that works beautifully alongside a holiday spread or as a comforting stand-alone bake. The combination of textures — crisp edges, tender center, toasty nuts — makes this a stuffing people actually fight over. This version is a solid pick for a vegetarian table, letting the vegetables, herbs, and fruit-and-nut mix carry all the flavor.

4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 stalks celery, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
¾ cup dried cranberries
¾ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until dry and lightly toasted. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
2
Spread the chopped walnuts in a single layer on the same baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden — watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Add the toasted walnuts to the bowl with the bread cubes.
