❓ Why I Use Jarred Sauces For Easy Meal Prep?
I love to make recipes from scratch, but sometimes you have to cheat a bit. That is why this is super easy to make. I'm not a big fan of stressing whether I made it homemade or not.
I only care if it tastes great and is still nourishing for my body. That is why I love Primal Kitchen's jarred sauces. They are made with wholesome ingredients that I know will taste great too.
If you use the Primal Kitchen Alfredo sauce, this becomes a delicious and easy side dish your vegan family and friends will thank you for. If you like this traditional holiday recipe, you will love my baked scalloped potato casserole recipe.
🥣 Ingredients For An Easy Broccoli Au Gratin Recipe
To make this healthy broccoli Au gratin, you will simply need to gather a few key ingredients that create the best tasting broccoli side dish recipe.
- Broccoli - The star of the recipe is broccoli, so please don't substitute. We all need to give more love to broccoli. 😀
- Dairy Free Alfredo Sauce - I prefer Primal Kitchen no-dairy Alfredo sauce. If you have your own favorite alfredo sauce, use that.
- Fresh Thyme - I love to grab some fresh thyme, but if all you have is dried thyme, it will still turn out amazing.
- Dairy-Free Cheddar Cheese - I discovered that the perfect dairy-free cheese is by Daiya. If you don't mind regular cheese, then use plain cheddar cheese in this broccoli Au gratin recipe.
- Black Pepper - A must flavor additive that gives it just that bit of kick the dish needs.
