Carrot Almond Casserole – JennifersKitchen

How great is it when healthy food is also easy to make? And when it’s gluten-free too? And when it’s also vegan? And when it can be made ahead of time (and freezes well)? And when leftovers are just as good as the first time around?

Sounds to me like the perfect meal for a group. The health nuts will be happy. The dieters will be happy. The vegans will be happy. The gluten-free people will be happy. And you will be happy.

This delicious Carrot Almond Casserole is amazingly versatile – not only does it go great with mashed potatoes, or these Skinny Scalloped Potatoes, or with a large salad, or even with pasta, but you’ll also love it on a sandwich or in a wrap .

Which is perfect because that means you can make it for your Thanksgiving holiday meal, and the next day, leftovers can be served up between two pieces of bread slathered with this luscious dressing.

But really, this casserole is so good, you don’t need to wait for the holidays. It’s delicious any time of the year!

Vegan, Gluten-Free Carrot Almond Casserole

There are just a few things you need to know about this recipe:

1. I don’t like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

2. I also don’t like grating ingredients (see #1).

3. My food processor is the answer to #1 and #2.

It just may be the greatest kitchen tool ever. I use it to make Vegan Parmesan Cheese, Lemon Tahini Cabbage Slaw, No-Bake Apricot Energy Bites, Chickpea Spinach Nuggets, No-Meatballs, and more!
