Vegan Creamed Spinach (Gluten Free, Dairy Free).
Simply delicious gluten free and vegan creamed spinach - this is an excellent side dish for a holiday meal.
Ingredients
- 1 onion diced
- 16 ounces frozen chopped spinach you can use fresh spinach if you prefer
- 3 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread
- 1 cup non-dairy milk I used refrigerated unsweetened coconut milk
- ¾ cup dairy free mozzarella shreds
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Place the vegan buttery spread in a sauce pan. Add the chopped onion and cook over medium until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add the frozen spinach and cook until it's hot, stirring often, about ten minutes.
- Add the non-dairy milk, dairy free cheese, and spices.
- Stir until combined and heated through. If you'd like a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to partially puree the creamed spinach.
- Add more salt or pepper if desired.
Notes
You can use fresh spinach if you prefer. You will need about 1.5 pounds of fresh spinach to equal 16 ounces of frozen chopped spinach.
If you would like to use dairy products, you can. Just substitute an equal amount.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 4 days.
