How To Make Sourdough Croutons (Homemade)

Homemade sourdough croutons are made from sourdough bread, which is known for its distinct tangy flavor and chewy texture due to the fermentation process it goes through. These croutons are small, crispy, and flavorful cubes of old, stale or toasted sourdough bread that add texture and taste to many dishes.

To make sourdough croutons, first pick out your sourdough bread, ideally stale and old. Then, you’ll slice the crispy bread into cubes of croutons. If your bread isn’t stale, leave it out, as staling the bread is important because it helps the croutons hold their shape and develop a satisfying crunch when toasted.

Next, the best homemade croutons require tasty seasoning! With olive oil, you’re going to whisk together: garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Toss your croutons in your seasoning and transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 mins, tossing every 5 mins or so. Then transfer to a wire cooling rack and sprinkle with salt!

These vegan calamari are made of king oyster mushrooms with seasoning that makes them taste like fried calamari!

Author: The Edgy Veg

Recipe type: Appetizer

Cuisine: Vegan

Serves: 2

Ingredients

10 king oyster mushrooms, sliced into ¼-inch slices
1 tbsp olive oil
1 piece of kombu, optional
¼ tsp salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ tsp old bay seasoning
½ cup unsweetened soy milk
1½ tsp vinegar
vegetable oil, for frying
2 lemon wedges, as garnish
dip sauce of choice

Instructions

Start by boiling water in a kettle or in a small saucepan. Then, use a ½-inch round metal straw, cookie cutter or a cake piping tip to make holes in the center of each mushroom, to create calamari-looking rings.
Place the calamari mushroom rings to a small saucepan and cover the mushrooms in water and bring the water to a boil.
Once boiling add 1 tbsp olive oil, ¼ tsp salt, and kombu.
Add mushrooms and boil for 15 minutes, or until they are dark in colour and most of the water has dissolved. Remove from heat and let them cool.
While calamari is boiling, combine the flour, cornstarch, and old bay seasoning together in a bowl. Pour half of the mixture into a second bowl.
In a third bowl whisk together soy milk together with the vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes to create soy buttermilk.
If using a deep fryer: heat frying oil to 350F.
If using a deep pan: pour enough oil to measure 3 inches inside the pan and heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350F.
When the oil is hot, dredge the mushrooms in the flour mixture and shake off any excess as you place them into the bowl with the soy buttermilk.
Transfer them then to the second bowl of seasoned flour coating them, completely and place on a wire cooling rack.
In batches, fry the calamari for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides, allowing the oil to return to 325F between batches.
Transfer fried calamari to a wire cooking inside a baking sheet, to allow excess oil to drip.
Serve with caper aioli, garlic aioli, or tartar sauce.

37+ Full Course Vegan Christmas Recipes Ideas for 2022

EdgyVeg — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:02:47 +0000

Full Course Vegan Christmas Dinner Party

What are you looking forward to the most during the Holidays? I love getting together with my family and friends, playing fun games, and eating an endless amount of good food. As a vegan recipe creator, my mission is to create a safe place with the BEST dinner parties and get-togethers without ever feeling excluded for being YOU! There is so much life to celebrate and food is an essential part of connecting with your loved ones who you haven’t seen for a long-time.

I have compiled a list of stress-free easy holiday recipe ideas that you and your guests will love!

Appetizers

1. Vegan Sausage Rolls

Appetizers should be simple, and savory to kick-start your appetite. Hence it’s name. This bite-size sausage-wrapped pastry is the perfect starter to welcome your guests. Depending on the size of your party, you can make these a day in advance and heat them up in the oven before serving.

The “sausage” in this vegan sausage roll is made from a combination of seitan meat and raw nuts, giving it a fantastic meaty and cheesy taste and texture. Then wrapped in a soft puffed pastry adding even more dimension to the texture and overall mouth-feel.

2. Vegan Spanakopita

I absolutely love spanakopita! They are so easy to make and so addicting! From the crispy textures of the phyllo sheets to the creamy, warm, and cheesy stuffing, life is so much better with finger-licking good appetizers. Using vegan substitutes, you don’t have to feel left out at your big fat Greek Holiday party! Inspired by Mama Voula’s vegan recipes, your guests are guaranteed to ask for more.

3. Spicy Vegan Artichoke Dip

Artichoke dip is always the life of the party. Traditionally, this party-favourite is ooey-gooey-cheesy rich, served with flatbread or veggies. This artichoke dip has a sinful, decadent flavor and texture followed by a spicy kick. It is a great base for any other vegan dip creation that’s been lingering in your brain! Try it with spinach, for a more traditional spinach-artichoke dip, or throw some vegan cheese in the mix and bake it for a hot variety.

4. Budget-Friendly Vegan Meatball Glaze Recipe

Meatballs are classic appetizer dishes that you can serve as samplers. There are endless combinations you can pair with these delicious meatballs. The balance of the sweet and juicy meaty texture of this recipe is almost shocking when you share it with your non-vegan friends!

5. Vegan Ricotta Toast (Broccoli & Garlic)

This vegan ricotta toast is the bread and butter of a great holiday dinner. This simple and delicious starter is super easy to make and great for anyone who needs a dairy-free option due to dietary restrictions.

Main

6. Smoked Cauliflower Recipe

Who said you can’t BBQ in the winter? This is a great recipe for any dinner party and makes a great plant-based “roast” option for the veggies in your family. Plus, since it’s made on a barbecue, so you can walk away while it cooks and focus on preparing other things inside the kitchen. This recipe is unique, and well-balanced. It’s the perfect centerpiece and conversation starter, and pairs perfectly well with other dishes like mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. However, if you don’t have access to a barbeque, you can also make this in the oven.

7. Vegan Glazed Ham Roast

When you thought your holiday couldn’t get any better, I created the ultimate vegan glazed ham roast so you definitely don’t have to miss out. This sweet, smokey, clove-pinned, pineapple-glazed ham is divine. It’s made from pork-flavored seitan, covered in a sweet sticky glaze, and roasted to perfection using my Napoleon BBQ – You can also do this in the oven!

8. Vegan Beef Wellington

This vegan beef wellington recipe uses 15 ingredients and is super easy to make for any holiday or dinner party. I will show you how to make this easy vegan wellington using an easy meaty filling & puff pastry. The trick is to roll all the meat into a burrito! The bigger the better!

9. Easy Vegan Roast

This is a secret recipe for making the easiest vegan roast. There is no shame in cooking smart because this $5.00 store-bought vegan roast (like Tofurkey) is all you need to save time and make any meal taste great! However, if you do have some extra time, you can also check out my homemade vegan holiday roast recipe if you want to make vegan roast made from scratch!

10. Vegan Tourtiere Recipe

Tourtière is a Canadian meal from Quebec, traditionally eaten on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. This meat pie is filled with minced vegan meat and potatoes baked in a pie crust for that crispy and savory texture we all love in a “meat” pie. This dish will definitely get you in the mood for the Holidays.

11. Lazy Vegan Butternut Squash Lasagna Recipe

You can make this awesome butternut squash in under an hour with minimal effort. All you need is a blender, a pot, and your favorite baking pan to make this delicious dish, especially during Christmas preparations! The sweet, creaminess of this dish is guaranteed to be one of your favorite vegan dishes of all time.

12. Vegan Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

Meaty, hearty, and easy vegan Shepherd’s Pie; made with saucy mushrooms and ground round stew, filled with corn, peas and carrots, and topped with fluffy mashed potato. Who on earth doesn’t love Shepherd’s pie? This recipe rivals even the meatiest Shepherd’s pie dishes out there. It’s a classic comfort food that everyone will remember all year round.

Sauces

13. Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is like the black sheep of the family, often overlooked and not given enough credit. Step away from the canned cranberry sauce. There is no glory in using a can-opener as a prepping tool. Making cranberry sauce from scratch is insanely easy. This basic all-natural homemade cranberry sauce is the perfect topping for Christmas dinner. Just a few quick and simple ingredients.

14. Mushroom Gravy

Gravy has its place all year round, but it really shines during the holidays. Gravy is also a great way to mask any cooking flops, so if something doesn’t turn out quite right, it’s all gravy baby! I put that stuff on everything.

15. Hot Honey Recipe

Drizzle on that kick of sweet and spicy you love on your favorite dishes! Honey is one of the controversial topics in veganism. This is because honey is made by bees and bees eat it to survive the winter season, and eating honey will eliminate the food supplies for the bees. As a result, we coined the term “beegans” for vegans who still eat honey in their diets as an exception. However, if you would like to eliminate honey in your diet and are curious about the “no-bee alternative”, this recipe is a great way to start. Don’t forget to try this on pizza, vegan fried chicken, or even as salad dressings.

Sides

16. Vegan Cheesy Cornbread

Cornbread has been a family tradition for some time. We love a dense, cheesy cornbread that you can dip in any of the saucy meat dishes from your main. Was it really a Christmas party without side dishes to munch on?

17. Vegan Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots

Using my Viral Rice Paper Bacon recipe, we can make the perfect snacks for any occasion, especially during Christmas, this is a great finger food to snack on in between your meals and a great conversational starter with your new and old family members.

18. Vegan Cobb Salad

Gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free! This cobb salad is the ultimate dish for that family member or friend who is allergic to almost everything. Luckily, most vegan dishes offer a great variety of dishes that is suitable for most dietary restrictions.

Dessert

19. Pumpkin Pie

Without a doubt, pumpkin pie is standard for holiday dinners. This is the easiest vegan pumpkin pie you will ever make! Perfect for a vegan Christmas dinner. This recipe also includes the directions for making a vegan pie crust. Top this pie off with some vegan whipped cream and you will have the vegan pumpkin pie of your dreams.

20. Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

What is smoother and creamier than cream cheese frosting? Homemade vegan cream cheese of course! The best part about this “lactose-free!” alternative is that it can go on any dessert. This cream cheese frosting is made with tangy and sweet flavors that pair perfectly with my two favorite cake flavors: carrot cake and red velvet.

21. Pecan Pie

Let’s face it, the holidays can make us all a little bit nuts, so take the nuts into your own hands and serve them up hot! Turning the traditional pecan pie recipe into a vegan-approved dessert is not just ‘pie in the sky talk here. This delightful, down-to-earth dessert is easily achievable AND it’s heavenly! What makes this recipe different from the traditional pecan pie recipe is the vegan pastry dough base, the brown rice syrup to replace corn syrup, coconut sugar to replace regular refined sugar, and flax meal to substitute for eggs. I also highly recommend the vegan whipped cream to top it off.

22. Vegan Deep Fried Ice Cream Burrito

DId you know that you can enjoy ice cream in the winter? If you deep fry them of course. This burrito-style deep-fried ice cream uses phyllo’s pastry sheets, which are way crispier and lighter than your average ice cream ball! Remember to make extras because your friends will devour them when they see this.

23. No Bake Pumpkin Spice Mini Cheesecakes

You can never have enough pumpkin spice when it comes to cozy up in the winter months. These mini pumpkin cheesecakes will be a crowd pleaser and a life saver because it requires no bake, no hassle and everyone can get their own! No sharing required.

24. Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Squares

Have you ever wanted to try those blondie brownies at cafes but couldn’t because it wasn’t vegan? Well, now you make these right at home! When there’s a will, there is always a way.

25. Vegan Ginger Molasses Cookies

Every Christmas season, Starbucks sells ginger molasses cookies that people line up for. However, vegans truly miss out on these options because it contains eggs and butter. You can be rest assured, I have got a vegan alternative to your favorite Ginger Molasses cookies! Going vegan ain’t so hard when you are part of the EdgyVeg community.

26. Snowball Cookies

You don’t always have to wait for Christmas to enjoy these snowball cookies. Whenever you are craving the buttery flavors of cookies with a powdered sugar aftertaste, these cookies are made for you. Perfect to pair with a latte or a black coffee in the morning or between your snack breaks, you can never go wrong with these bite-sized snowball cookies.

27. Vegan Sugar Cookies

What is a sugar cookie without the icing on top? This fun vegan sugar recipe is a go-to recipe for you and your family. When you have the young ones over, you can always count on simple sugar cookies to put a smile on their faces.

28. Gingerbread Man Recipe

A Christmas without gingerbread man cookies is just a sad one. Let’s be real, no matter how many years have passed, gingerbread man cookies are a staple dessert for the Christmas tradition. It’s nostalgic and brings people together of their fondest childhood memories.

29. Peppermint Bark Recipe

Vegan peppermint bark is dairy free and you can make them without the 40$ price tag! It’s as simple as melting your favorite chocolate and popping them in the fridge overnight.

30. Vegan Shortbread Cookies

Most shortbread cookies are made with a ton of butter and eggs, but this time you can make it completely vegan without using any dairy! This recipe is a must to bring to your kid’s holiday parties or even work parties for anyone with a dietary restriction to soy or dairy. Although it may have a low percentage of gluten, this 4 ingredient cookie recipe is a total treat for any occasion.

31. Homemade Peppermint Patties

This 6-ingredient dessert recipe will have you wondering why you never made these with ingredients you already have at home! What is Christmas without some peppermint and chocolate to go together?

Cocktails and Mocktails

32. Vegan Baileys Irish Cream Recipe

This diary-free Baileys (Irish cream) is my favorite holiday cocktail, and can help get you through the madness by starting with your morning coffee. It is also amazing on ice for a nice boozy treat. Pair this dessert cocktail with your favorite pastry for a brilliant feast.

33. Candy Cane Martini

Whether you’re throwing a bunch of Christmas parties or drinking next to your tree alone, you are going to need a sweet and festive holiday cocktail to soothe the sou.

34. Gluhwein or German Hot Mulled Wine

Mulled wine is a classic cocktail for a fabulous Christmas feast! End the night on a high note with this unforgettable concoction. This is how classy people get wasted.

35. Vegan Egg Nog

Looking for an egg-free dairy-free alternative to your favourite boozy holiday drink?! Perfect! This vegan egg nog is the perfect substitute, made with creamy cashews, cinnamon, nutmeg and rum to give you that signature flavour. Serve it chilled or warmed, spiked or virgin, this eggnog will get you egg-cited for the holidays!

36. Vegan Whiskey Sour

A Whiskey Sour is traditionally not vegan, because of the egg whites. However, I’ll show you how to make a vegan whiskey sour recipe using aquafaba!

37. Vegan Dalgona Coffee (non-alcoholic)

To make the Tiktok whipped coffee (aka dalgona coffee) vegan, all you need is instant coffee, sugar, and plant-based milk!

If you’re looking to make your morning coffee more magical and fluffy than ever before, use this recipe to make velvety smooth, sweet coffee foam to your mug.

Vegan BBQ – Grilled Salted Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies

EdgyVeg — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 20:43:10 +0000

Grilled Salted Oatmeal

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Do you ever get bored of cooking the same way, using the same method every time? I totally get it! That is why I decided to test out different recipes on my BBQ Grill and to my surprise, I made the best Grilled Salted Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies! Yes, I have made grilled salads, pizzas, and now cookies on my Napolean. Vegans have no excuse to not participate in BBQs anymore!

Related Recipe: Giant Salted Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookies

Pro Tips:

Preheat your grill for 10-15 min.
Make sure you’re baking over indirect medium heat. If you can’t grill indirectly: place a metal cake pan upside down or use bricks on the grills and then place the baking sheet on top to bake.
Don’t open the grill before the time is up, this will allow too much heat to escape.
In-between batches, make sure you let the grill come back up to temperature (350F).

If you thought vegans couldn't join in all the BBQ festivities, I am about to prove you wrong! Because I am going to show you how to make cookies on a BBQ Grill. Yes, this is not your average salted oatmeal chocolate cookies baked in an oven!

Author: The Edgy Veg

Recipe type: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp kosher salt
½ cup rolled oats
¼ tsp cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted vegan butter, room temp
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp aquafaba
6 oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped
optional: ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Coarse sea salt

Instructions

Preheat grill or bbq to between 350F and 375F, and grease a baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, rolled oats, and cinnamon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Add the aquafaba one tablespoon at a time and beat until well combined.
Using a spatula, gradually add the flour mixture into the batter-sugar mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts, if using.
Spoon tablespoon-size balls of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between the dough balls.
Scoop the chilled cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Make sure to leave about 2 inches between scoops.
Place the baking sheet on the grill, close the lid and grill for 10-13 mins, or until just beginning to golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle each one with a few grains of sea salt … it’s really important to do this while the cookies are hot so the salt sticks. Let the cookies cool for a couple minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes

Tips:
Preheat your grill for 10-15 min.
Make sure you're baking over indirect medium heat. If you can’t grill indirectly: place a metal cake pan upside down or use bricks on the grills and then place the baking sheet on top to bake.
Don’t open the grill before the time is up, this will allow too much heat to escape.

EdgyVeg — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 18:54:06 +0000

Vegan Milk Bar Cookies Recipe

Inspired by the infamous Momofuku Milk Bar cookies, I recreated a vegan version that is closest to the original recipe! I have seen so many different attempts at these milk bar cookies and some recipes either nail it or have revised a few ingredients before perfecting these ooey-gooey, irresistible cookies. Well lucky for you, I have found the perfect recipe that will not disappoint! Grab your cooking gloves because we are about to make the best cookies you’ve ever had.

Alternative ways to make this recipe:

Instead of using cornflakes, you can use pretzels, caramel pieces, or any of your favorite cereal brands to add that yummy, crispy texture. Oatmeal is also a great choice if you want a healthier alternative.

Milk Bar Cookies Recipe

If you are a foodie that loves to travel, you’ve probably tried the most infamous milk bar cookies that originated in New York. There is something so beautiful about this hustle and bustle society that provides the best foods in town, and they never miss a beat when it comes to dessert! Nothing hits the spot better than a bite of these chewy and crispy cookies that you can take with you anywhere.

How many servings does this make?

This recipe makes about 15~20 cookies. You can always increase the size by doubling up your ingredients.

½ tspbaking powder
½ tspbaking soda
½ tsp salt
3 cups Cornflakes
1 /14 cup minichocolate chipsor chopped chocolate
1½ cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

Prepare 2 cookie sheets with parchment, not a silicone baking mat (they make the cookies spread too much).
At a medium-high speed, cream together dairy-free butter, white sugar and brown sugar for about 3 minutes. (in a stand mixer you can use the paddle attachment.) Scraping down the side of the bowlas necessary.
Add aquafaba and vanilla and beat for 8 minutes on high, scraping down sides of thebowlas necessary.
At a low speed, start to add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix until the dough just comes together about 1 minute.
Add cornflakes and chocolate chips, and mix on low until just mixed, about 30-45 seconds.
Gently stir in the marshmallows.

onto the prepared cookie sheets, at least 4 inches apart* (see note). Press down the top to flatten them and cover with plastic wrap.g
Freeze for a minimum of 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Bake cookie dough for 18 minutes., rotating the cookie sheet halfway through.
The cookies are ready when the edges are browned on edges and golden in the center.
Let the cookies cool completely on the cookie sheet.

Notes

* NOTE: The original recipe says to use a large 2¾-ounce scoop (or ⅓ cup) measure., which I did, but I also used a regular cookie scoop for smaller more manageable cookies. *

Do not bake the cookie dough from room temperature or they will spread out and you will have one giant cookie.

Healthy Peanut Butter Granola Bars

EdgyVeg — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 15:54:31 +0000

Healthy Peanut Butter Granola Bar

After a good workout, the granola bar is one of my favorite snacks to munch on. Unfortunately, many of the granola bars that are store-bought contain a lot of processed sugars and chemicals to extend shelf life. As a result, packaged granola bars are typically high in calories, filled with processed sugars, and have very little nutritional content. Nonetheless, granola bars can be a healthy snack depending on the brand, but making these at home is much healthier and more affordable than the premium prices you pay at the health food stores. Conveniently, you can store these snacks in your fridge for up to 1 week! Or make extra and freeze them for up to 2 weeks.

Alternative ways to make this recipe:

You can add dried fruits and additional nuts to this recipe. However, if you are allergic to peanuts, you can substitute the peanut with almond butter instead. The purpose of the nut butter is to make all the ingredients stick together. Otherwise, if you have a dietary restriction to all nuts, you can try seed butter like this one. You can also substitute chocolate chips with white vegan chocolate chips.

Peanut Butter Granola Bar

Peanut Butter Granola bars are well-known for their ridiculously delicious taste along with significant health benefits. Did you know that peanut butter contains a high source of monosaturated fat, B-vitamins, magnesium, and protein? Furthermore, the flaxseeds and chia seeds in this ingredient are also high in omega-3 fats that are essential for your brain health, eye health, and heart health! This granola bar recipe is definitely a super snack dedicated to being one of your staple recipes. Remember to share this recipe with one of your favorite workout buddies or bring it to your next potlock party!

How many servings does this make?

This recipe makes about 12 squares using an 8 by 8-inch pan. You can always increase the size by using a bigger pan or doubling up your recipe.

Preheat oven to 350F, place the oven rack into the center and line a 9x5x3 bread pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a second bowl, cream together mashed bananas, sugar, yogurt, margarine, or oil and vanilla with a wooden spoon, hand mixer, or stand mixer.
Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until the batter just comes together. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter to the lined loaf pan, and smooth out the top.
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a tester (like a toothpick) inserted in the center comes out clean.
Place the loaf (still in the pan)onto a wire rack, and allow it to cool completely.
Serve on its own or with vegan butter
