Vegan & Gluten Free Baked Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
- 1 box of pasta
- 1/2 cup cashews (soaked in water)
- 1 cup sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup russet potato (about 1 small potato)
- 1-2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Preparation
Add the olive oil, onions, and garlic to a pan over medium heat
Cook for a few minutes until the onion and garlic start to release their flavors
Then add the sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, and vegetable broth
Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the potatoes have fully cooked and softened
Then remove the pan from heat, and transfer all of the ingredients from the pan and into a blender
To the blender also add the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, coconut milk, lemon juice, paprika, salt and pepper
Blend really well until everything is smooth and creamy
Add the cheesy sauce (along with the pasta that you have cooked according to the box instructions) to a baking dish
Then add about half of the bag of @fromthegroundupsnacks cheddar cauliflower stalks to a blender and blend until you have a fine texture
Then sprinkle it all over the top of the mac and cheese and bake it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350*f
I also added some parsley and chilly flakes on top
