Vegan Cauliflower Cheese

This is a comforting vegan take on the classic cauliflower cheese dish. It has soft cauliflower florets covered in a creamy cheese sauce and breadcrumbs on top.

Ingredients:

• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• Fresh parsley, for garnish optional

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375F 190C

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes

Drain and set aside

In a saucepan, whisk together almond milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes

Place the steamed cauliflower in a baking dish and pour the cheese sauce over it, ensuring all florets are coated

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with a dash of olive oil until coated

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cauliflower

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving
