Vegan Cheddar & Broccoli Rice Casserole

A recipe straight out of spiral-bound community cookbooks, this cheesy broccoli rice casserole is easy to make in a vegan version.

With plenty of broccoli and parsley, this plant-based green rice casserole is wholesome as well as somewhat addictive! It’s equally good made with fresh or frozen broccoli.

Though this recipe calls for brown rice, you can use white if that’s what you prefer. I often like to cook white rice with a smaller portion of quinoa together — 2 parts rice to 1 part quinoa — which is a nice alternative to brown rice if you’re not a fan.
