“Cheesy” Roasted Cauliflower

“Cheesy” Roasted Cauliflower

If you’re looking for a low-carb, plant-based side dish, this “Cheesy” Roasted Cauliflower is perfect! This recipe uses nutritional yeast (which is not an active yeast), which is rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein and makes for an amazing substitute for those with food allergies. It can be found at most grocery stores, and sometimes in bulk bins. This side dish pairs well with a bed of greens or other roasted vegetables.

If you’d prefer real cheese, you can substitute the vegan mayo and nutritional yeast for 1/4 c. shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

“Cheesy” Roasted Cauliflower

  • 1 head cauliflower, leaves & stems removed, chopped
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 3-4 Tbs vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Olive oil
  • Apple cider vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF
  2. Prepare your cauliflower and transfer it to a roasting pan.
  3. Add a small splash of olive oil and apple cider vinegar to the cauliflower and rub it into the cauliflower to combine well.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients.
  5. Add the “cheesy” mix to the cauliflower, combine well until each floret is covered.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. For cheesier cauliflower, you can add another scoop of vegan mayo and nutritional yeast.
  8. Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven, serve and enjoy!

We paired our cauliflower with roasted root vegetables, tempeh, and a bed of shaved Brussels sprouts, cabbage, & kale

Veggie Dip

Veggie Dip

This is definitely a different kind of veggie dip from what you would normally picture. What’s great about this recipe is you can mix and match what vegetables you use and how to dress your dip. Ideally, you’ll have a mix of good, fresh vegetables that are highly minced either using a blender or food processor and you can serve the dip with a vegan green goddess or ranch dressing and enjoy with pita or crackers. Kind of like a coleslaw-esque dip but without cabbage!

However you choose to customize this dip, it is great for gatherings or large family meals!

Ingredients

Veggie Dip

  • 1 large carrot
  • 1/2 cup broccoli
  • 1/2 cup cauliflower
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 4 radishes
  • For serving: vegan green goddess or ranch, pita, crackers, or mini toast

Directions

  1. Remove any stems or leaves from the vegetables and add them to a vitamix, blender, or food processor.
  2. Pulse the vegetables to mince them, or if you have no other options you can spend the time finely mincing the veggies by hand with a chef’s knife.
  3. Add the minced vegetables to a large bowl.
  4. When you’re ready for serving, you may either add an amount of dressing to evenly coat the vegetables or leave the dressings on the side for your guests to add to their liking.
  5. Serve with pita, crackers, or mini-toast or alongside other appetizers or hors d’oeuvres!

Cauliflower Casserole

Cauliflower Casserole

This Cauliflower Casserole is a quick, 45-minute dinner fix that is sure to impress anyone who denies the deliciousness of cauliflower. While our recipe is using a tofu topping, you’re welcome to omit this portion of the recipe if you have dietary aversions to soy products.

But if you’re vegan and soy-friendly, this is a wonderful dish to get in some added protein!

Ingredients

Serves: 4-5 Time: 45 minutes

Cauliflower Casserole

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped florets
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • 10 oz. cherry tomatoes
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 Tbs olive oil

  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika preferred)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Directions

  1. If using tofu topping, make sure your tofu has been pressed for at least 20 minutes. Then prepare the tofu topping in a medium-sized mixing bowl by crumbling the tofu and mixing in the ingredients until well combined.

  3. Begin preparing your vegetables.
  4. In a deep baking pan, add your cauliflower, onion, pepper, garlic, and tomatoes.
  5. Mix in the olive oil and spices.
  6. Add the tofu topping on the top.
  7. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and use a wooden spoon to press the tomatoes, ensuring they release some tomato juice.
  9. Rotate the pan and place back in the oven, bake for another 10 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven, serve hot and enjoy!

This dish can be served with quinoa, rice, or over a bed of salad greens. You can mix and match with your toppings, whether it’s some hot sauce and chopped scallions or a slice of avocado.
