How to Make Healthy Creamy Broccoli Au Gratin

Healthy creamy broccoli Au gratin recipe is the perfect easy side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. Broccoli gratin is such a delicious baked and quick side dish. It is so easy to serve on special occasions.

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.

❓ 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. 

🥣 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.

1. Broccoli - The star of the recipe is broccoli, so please don't substitute. We all need to give more love to broccoli. 😀
2. Dairy Free Alfredo Sauce - I prefer Primal Kitchen no-dairy Alfredo sauce. If you have your own favorite alfredo sauce, use that. 
3. Fresh Thyme - I love to grab some fresh thyme, but if all you have is dried thyme, it will still turn out amazing.
4. 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.
5. Black Pepper - A must flavor additive that gives it just that bit of kick the dish needs.
