Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or canned sweet corn kernels, drained if canned
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup less sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a casserole dish with plant-based butter to prevent sticking and add richness.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the less sodium vegetable broth, plant-based butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), onion powder (natural), and garlic powder (natural). Stir in the plant-based cheese (plant-based) until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Corn and Natural Gelling Agent: Gently fold the sweet corn kernels into the creamy wet mixture to keep texture intact. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and mix well to ensure a tender hold.
  4. Pour and Top: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crisp crust.
  5. Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set but still moist inside. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen sweet corn for the best texture and flavor over canned if possible.
  • Pre-toast breadcrumbs lightly in a pan with plant-based butter to enhance crunch and flavor.
  • Gently fold ingredients to avoid breaking down corn kernels and keep texture lively.
  • Add a splash of vegetable broth if the mixture feels too thick before baking to maintain creaminess.
  • Allow casserole to rest for 10 minutes after baking for easier slicing and serving.
