Keto Thanksgiving Vegetarian Broccoli Cheese Bake
This deliciously rich and cheesy vegetarian bake makes a great addition to the Thanksgiving table. Low carb vegetables are layered with a creamy cheese sauce and a crumb topping before being baked until bubbling and golden. This makes a decadent Thanksgiving vegetarian Keto recipe; perfect served alongside your festive main.
What Is Hard Italian Cheese?
Hard Italian cheese is a great vegetarian alternative to parmesan. It can typically be found in grocery stores as a replacement for parmesan. The cheese is free from animal rennet, making it suitable for those on a vegetarian diet, but has a similar taste and consistency to parmesan. You may use any grated vegetarian-friendly hard cheese for this recipe.
Can I Make This Nut-Free?
We have scattered our vegetable bake with ground almonds and hard cheese to create and golden crumb topping. If you would like to avoid using nuts, you can simply omit them from the recipe. You may add a little extra sprinkling of hard cheese in its place. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a low/medium heat. Add the cream cheese. Stir well to combine, melting the cream cheese into the butter. Add the vegetable stock and stir well. Add the grated cheddar, 1 tablespoon of grated hard Italian cheese, the garlic powder, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce gently until well combined, smooth, thick, and creamy.Step 4
Spoon the cheese sauce evenly all over the prepared vegetables. Sprinkle over the remaining hard cheese and ground almonds. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, the sauce is bubbling, and the crumb is golden. Serve hot with your preferred Thanksgiving main.
