Vegan Cauliflower Cheese Sauce

raw sunflower seeds

water ((divided))

vegetable broth

½ medium red onion (sliced)

red bell pepper

garlic

cauliflower florets

yeast

½ tsp ground turmeric

cumin

salt

lime juice

apple cider vinegar

jalapeno juice ((from the jar))

jalapeno ((add more to taste))

Boil

Put the sunflower seeds in a medium saucepan and add 2 cups of water. Increase the heat until the water boils and let it cook for 10 minutes.

Saute

In a large pan over medium heat, saute the onions and bell peppers until soft. Add more liquid if the pan gets too dry. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the cauliflower florets and ¼ cup water. Increase the heat until the water starts bubbling and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.

Blend

Transfer the cooked vegetables, boiled sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, turmeric, cumin, salt, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, pickled jalapeno slices, pickled jalapeno juice, and ¼ cup water to a large blender cup and then blend until it&#039;s smooth and creamy. The sauce will be very thick, you can add more water to thin the consistency if you like. Taste and add more salt and jalapenos to your preference.

This 6-ingredient Vegan Cauliflower Cheese is irresistible and made with roasted cauliflower, not boiled. The florets are smothered and baked with simple cheese sauce, giving you an indulgent and cheesy casserole.

Vegan Cauliflower Cheese

olive oil

black pepper

raw cashews

plant milk (I used soy)

nutritional yeast

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and lightly grease a large rimmed pan (or line with parchment paper).

Place the cauliflower on the prepared pan, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss gently in the pan.

Roast for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown. Once it&#39;s finished roasting, lower the heat to 350 degrees F.

While the cauliflower roasts, soak the cashews - Bring 3-4 cups of water to a boil (I use my tea kettle). Pour the hot water over the cashews and let soak for 5 minutes or up to an hour.

Drain the cashews, discard the soaking water and add to a high powered blender along with the vegetable broth, milk, nutritional yeast and salt. Blend until very smooth.

Once the cauliflower has roasted, transfer it to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower and gently toss to coat.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, until the cheese sauce has thickened and is bubbly and golden. Place under broiler for a few minutes if desired for a deeper brown on top.

Sprinkle with parsley if desired and serve warm.

Enjoy our roasted cauliflower tossed with a silky, rich dairy-free cheese sauce and topped with golden breadcrumbs – you won’t even notice that it’s entirely plant-based

Vegan cauliflower cheese

cauliflower,

sunflower oil

vegan butter block

plain flour

mustard powder

tsp onion granules

tsp garlic granules

soya milk

sourdough bread, blitzed

vegan cheddar, grated

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the cauliflower florets and stalks with the oil in a large roasting tin and season well. Roast for 25-30 mins until almost tender, then add the leaves and cook for a further 5 mins.

To make the sauce, melt the vegan butter block in a large saucepan. Add the flour, mustard powder, onion and garlic granules and cook for 2-3 mins. Gradually add the soya milk, whisking well to incorporate. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, then simmer for 4-5 mins until thickened and reduced slightly. Add the nutritional yeast and season well, then whisk to combine.

Tip the sourdough breadcrumbs and vegan cheese into a bowl and stir to combine. Season well. Remove the cauliflower from the oven, spoon over the sauce and stir to combine. Scatter over the cheesy sourdough crumbs and return to the oven for 10 mins until bubbling and golden. Serve as a side or main with a green salad.
