This healthy vegan squash and zucchini casserole is an easy to make, dump-and-bake, plant-based dinner or side dish the whole family will love. It’s loaded with fresh zucchini, squash, carrots, potatoes, and soy curls in a creamy, dairy-free dijon sauce baked to beautiful bubbling perfection. This zucchini bake is the perfect side dish or ideal meatless dinner for meal prep for the week or to freeze for easy future meals!
Heat the oven to 400°F and use a mandoline slicer to shred the zucchini, squash, carrots.
Stir all the ingredients in a 3-quart casserole dish (most commonly a 9x13 inch dish).
Cover tightly and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the cover and bake for another 20 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and put the lid back on top. Let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then, let cool for at least 5 minutes with the cover removed before serving!

Notes
* Feel free to sub all zucchini or squashNotes on non-dairy milk: Make sure you’re using a non-dairy milk that is both unsweetened and plain. A neutral-flavored milk is crucial for this recipe! We like the No Sugar Oat Milk from Chobani, Califia’s unsweetened almond milk, or the unsweetened cashew or oat milk from Elmhurst.Condensed Soup Notes: If you can’t wait for the vegan condensed soup to thicken, you can use the soup out of the blender (about 2 cups for this recipe - not the whole thing) and reduce the water in this recipe by about 3/4 cup. For a different vibe, you can sub any of our vegan condensed soups. The mushroom or chicken versions are great options!
