This southern squash gratin is the perfect casserole for plant-based diners.
This recipe is a part of a holiday recipe roundup collaboration hosted by me, Natasha of @asiliglamcooks. For this week we are focusing on casserole meals.
My name is Robin Sparks and I blog about race, food, health, nutrition, and the politics of our palates at Collards Are The Old Kale. My site is devoted to the African-American Heritage Diet which is plant-based, local and organic. Southern Squash Gratin is a plant-based casserole both my grandmothers used to make. Ideal for vegetarians, it is a perfect side dish or entree for those looking to consume less meat.
