There’s maybe nothing more comforting than a home-baked casserole. They’re guaranteed to warm you up, and are SO easy to make. Just assemble, bake, and sit back and enjoy the incredible aromas emanating from your oven. There’s just one tiny little hiccup. A ton of our favorites are FULL of noodles, heavy cream, lots of cheese… We’ll be the first to admit that they can be a little… heavy. Not to fear, you can still get all that ease and those comfort food vibes—just add some vegetables! Check out our 25 vegetable casseroles for ideas: Bonus, they leave extra room for dessert 😉.

One of the best things about casseroles is how perfect they are for dinner, all year-round, particularly when we’re filling them with lots of seasonal vegetables. In spring and summer, we’re reaching for veggies like springy asparagus, zucchini, sweet corn, and eggplant for our casseroles. We pull out our cheesy asparagus & bacon casserole and our breakfast strata for all our springtime brunches; our zucchini casserole with garlicky breadcrumbs or yellow squash casserole for easy lunches; and our zucchini lattice lasagna or our vegetarian eggplant moussaka for satisfying dinners. In fall and winter, when it starts to get colder, we lean on root and cruciferous veggies like sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage in our casseroles. Try our cheesy Brussels sprouts bake, our unstuffed cabbage casserole, or our harvest chicken casserole for ideas—they’re delicious enough that even veggie-haters will enjoy them. We’re also not above enjoying holiday favorites outside their special day, and we make sweet potato casserole or green bean casserole as often as we can (helps keep our mood up during the long winter, try it!).

This summery vegetarian side may be quick and easy, but the colorful shingled veggies make for an impressive presentation. Even the most reluctant vegetable-eaters won't be able to resist that cheesy herbed breadcrumb topping. 😋

Zucchini Lattice Lasagna

Yes, classic lasagna is delicious, but when we're craving something a tad less carb-heavy, we turn to this summery zucchini version. Pro tip: Zucchini releases a good amount of water, so we like to dab it with a paper towel when the lasagna is done cooking, and then broil until the cheese is bubbly and crispy. 😍

Cheesy Asparagus & Bacon Casserole

You can think of asparagus casserole as the springy version of green bean casserole. Spring asparagus gets topped with a bacon cream sauce, plenty of cheese, and the best part of all, Ritz crackers, which add the perfect crunch. This dish is insanely delicious (probably that bacon cream sauce 😉).

This is one side dish that will everyone freak out (and run for seconds). If you have vegetarian guests, feel free to skip the bacon! We're usually all about the smoky flavor, but for this dish, it's all about the CHEESE.

Philly Cheesesteak Casserole

Love Philly cheesesteaks, but need to serve a crowd? This casserole to the rescue! You could even make it a little more veggie-heavy by adding some tomatoes and spinach. (Just don't tell your friends from Philly 😜)

Green Bean Casserole

For this recipe, we ditched the canned cream of mushroom soup, and went for fresh instead. By sautéing mushrooms with thinly sliced onion in butter, you're building a base with some serious depth of flavor. Cook the mushrooms enough that they get a little caramelized and you'll really be good to go.

Vegetarian Moussaka

Moussaka is an eggplant-based Greek dish traditionally made with ground beef. Here we swapped the meat with lentils and added a creamy bechamel sauce on top to make this an extra hearty vegetarian dish you'll love.

Vegan Shepherd's Pie

This meatless, dairy-free take on shepherd's pie is packed with veggies (mushrooms! celery! butternut squash!) and loaded with flavor. It's also incredibly hearty, thanks to lentils. It's hard not to love anything covered in a buttery, crispy mashed potato topping.

Healthy Green Bean Casserole

Never fear, this lightened-up green bean casserole is here to help you save room for pumpkin pie. Forgoing canned cream of mushroom for a quick homemade mushroom gravy, we'd argue this version is healthier and more delicious than the classic. We dig the sautéed and Panko-ed onion topping, but if you can't part from French's fried onions, we won't judge ya.

Classic Corn Casserole

ETHAN CALABRESE

This classic Southern side is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. If you prefer, drained and rinsed canned corn can be used instead of frozen, and you could substitute more milk in for the heavy cream. The finished casserole won't be quite as decadent, but will still be delicious.

Broccoli Cheese Casserole

This dish came about when we decided to turn one of our go-to sides, cheesy baked broccoli, into an ooey-gooey, rich and delectable casserole. It's creamy and cheesy, and the Ritz crackers add the perfect buttery crunch that the original desperately needs.

Sweet Potato Casserole

This recipe is for everyone who hates marshmallows atop their sweet potato casserole—in their place is a buttery, brown sugar pecan topping that is still sweet, but not enough to make it taste like straight-up dessert.

Twice Baked Potato Casserole

We will never be able to match the genius of the person who invented the twice baked potatoes. We think we've gotten pretty darn close with this version, though. We've transform the foil-lined side into a creamy, cheesy casserole that will instantly become a weeknight dinner staple.
