**Ingredients:**

- 4 large potatoes, chopped into chunks

- 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets

- 2 large carrots, sliced

- 4 ears of corn, each cut into 3-4 pieces

- 4 vegan sausages, sliced (such as seitan or plant-based sausage)

- baby bella mushrooms, optional 

- 1 onion, sliced

- 1 bell pepper, sliced

- 2 tablespoons vegan butter

- 1/2 cup vegetable broth

- salt and pepper to taste

-Old bay seasoning or Cajun seasoning for extra flavor

- garlic and onion powder to taste


  **Instructions:**                                           (**Cook Time:** Approximately 20-25 minutes)

1. **Preheat the Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).


2. **Lightly Saute the Ingredients:**

   - In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegan butter over medium heat. Add the chopped potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced carrots, corn pieces, vegan sausage slices, onion, and bell pepper. Lightly saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender and the flavors begin to meld.


3. **Season the Boil:**

   - Season the sauteed ingredients with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder and any additional seasoning of your choice, such as Old Bay or Cajun seasoning. Toss gently to coat.


4. **Transfer to Baking Dish:**

   - Grease a large baking dish with the remaining vegan butter. Transfer the sauteed vegetables and sausage to the baking dish, spreading them out evenly.


5. **Add Vegetable Broth:**

   - Pour the vegetable broth over the vegetables in the baking dish. This will help keep everything moist and flavorful as it bakes.


6. **Bake to Perfection:**

   - Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.


7. **Serve and Enjoy:**

   - Once baked to perfection, remove the foil from the baking dish and serve your Soulful Vegan Boil hot, straight from the oven. Dive in and savor every delicious bite!


**Health Benefits:**

- **Nutrient-Packed Veggies:** Potatoes, broccoli, carrots, onions, bell peppers, and corn are all rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They provide fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and other nutrients that support overall health and immune function.


- **Plant-Based Protein:** Vegan sausages, made from plant-based proteins like seitan or soy, provide a good source of protein without the cholesterol and saturated fats found in animal products. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, as well as for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails.


- **Low-Calorie, High-Fiber:** This soulful vegan boil is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a satisfying and nutritious meal option. Fiber promotes digestive health, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and keeps you feeling full and satisfied for longer periods.


- **Heart-Healthy Ingredients:** The absence of animal products in this vegan boil means it's naturally low in saturated fats and cholesterol, making it heart-healthy and suitable for those looking to improve their cardiovascular health.

Enjoy, my friends! 🌽🥔🥦
