Ingredients
- 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Vegetable Mixture: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell peppers until soft. Add the corn, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Make the Cornbread Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix almond milk, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and maple syrup. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
- Assemble the Casserole: In a greased baking dish, spread the vegetable mixture evenly. Pour the cornbread batter over the top, spreading it gently to cover the vegetables.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. This casserole is great on its own or as a side dish.
