Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and adjust the rack to the middle position. This verifies even cooking and browning for the dressing.
In a large skillet (preferably cast iron or non-stick) over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat until shimmering, approximately 2 minutes.
Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled gluten-free cornbread, sautéed vegetables, chopped fresh sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and beaten eggs until well combined.
Gradually pour this mixture over the cornbread mixture, stirring gently until all ingredients are moistened.
Transfer the dressing mixture into a greased 23 cm x 33 cm (9 in x 13 in) baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
The mixture should be slightly compact but not packed tightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is set.
Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 74 °C (165 °F).
Once baked, remove the dressing from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
This resting period allows it to firm up a bit for easier slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy the rich aroma and comforting texture.
