Crispy Vegan Cheesy Roasted Broccoli
Description
This recipe uses chopped broccoli crowns tossed with avocado oil and a blend of finely ground almond flour, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and paprika. The almond flour adds a light crust, while the nutritional yeast imparts a savory, cheese-like flavor. The mixture is evenly coated by hand and spread on a baking sheet before roasting at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes until the broccoli develops golden-brown crispy edges.
The result is broccoli with a tender interior and crisp, flavorful exterior that carries a subtle umami cheesiness from the nutritional yeast. The paprika adds mild smoky depth alongside the salt seasoning. The recipe offers a vegan alternative to cheese-roasted vegetables without dairy ingredients.
This dish pairs well with various entrées and can serve as a vegetable side or snack. It is simple to prepare but provides a distinctive texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 broccoli chopped (about 6 to 8 cups, large crowns
- 4 Tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

- Spread the chopped broccoli over a large baking sheet and drizzle with avocado oil, and sprinkle with almond flour, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and paprika. Use your hands to toss everything together until the broccoli florets are well-coated.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until broccoli is golden-brown and crispy.
- Serve with your favorite entree, and enjoy!
