Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread your bread cubes in a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred).
Toast in the oven for 10–15 minutes until dry and golden, stirring halfway through.
Remove from the oven and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat olive oil or vegan butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the sage and thyme to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine.
Return the toasted bread cubes to the skillet and gently stir to mix them with the seasoned vegetables.
If using nuts, gently fold them into the mixture at this point.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, adding just enough to moisten the bread cubes without making them soggy.
Cover the skillet with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the top of the stuffing is golden brown and crisp.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

Remember that the handle of a cast iron skillet will be very hot when transferring from stovetop to oven and vice versa. Always use oven mitts.
For extra flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the stuffing. Toasting them in a dry skillet or the oven until they’re fragrant and slightly browned, adds a deeper flavor profile to your dish.
