Side

This is not your average stuffing. Crusty baguette cubes toasted in Spiceology Greek Freak Mediterranean Rub, layered with deeply caramelized onions, mushrooms, and celery, then baked until golden and crisp on top. A Thanksgiving table-worthy side dish that works just as well for a Sunday roast or any occasion that calls for something truly satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 2 baguettes, store-bought or homemade
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300° F.

  2. Cut the baguette into 1-inch cubes and add to a large bowl.
