Share:
Ingredients
- 4.5 cups cauliflower florets from approx. 1 small cauliflower or half large
- 2-3 jalapeños
- 1 yellow onion quartered
- 2-3 cloves garlic unpeeled
- ¾-1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce if not avoiding gluten
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F convection bake and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Then, arrange your cauliflower florets, quartered onion, jalapeno and garlic in a single layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are golden brown and cauliflower is fork tender.
- Then transfer your roasted veggies (remove the peel from the garlic first) along with all remaining ingredients to a blender. Process until smooth and then taste and add more salt if needed or more broth to thin as desired. Serve with veggies, crackers, chips or pitas.

Notes
- Adjust the amount of broth to a consistency of your liking. I found one cup to give the perfect consistency, but start with ¾ cup if you want a thicker dip and add more, if needed.
- If you have a powerful blender, like a Vitamix, run it a little longer to make sure your cauliflower cheese sauce is nice and hot before serving.
- Make it ahead to save time. You can easily reheat the dip before serving (or serve cold). It tastes great both ways, but I do prefer this one warm.
- Use your vegan cauliflower cheese in a variety of ways. Use it as a dip with veggies for a light snack, with chips or crackers for a treat, or pour it over your broccoli, asparagus or any of your favourite steamed veggies.
- Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3-4 days in an airtight container, or freeze (but completely cool first) airtight for up to 3 months.
