Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tbsp vegan butter or margarine (*can sub with 20g oil)
- 1 tbsp flour
- ⅔ cup homemade soy milk (*can sub with milk of your choice)
- 1 cup shredded vegan cheese
- Black pepper, panko breadcrumbs, and vegan parmesan (*optional)
Instructions
- Break cauliflower into florets. Steam until fork-tender (20 minutes on stove top, or 2 minutes in the Instant Pot on "Steam" function, quick release).
- While you let the cauliflower cool, preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
- Whisk together butter and flour in a small saucepan on medium heat.
- When thoroughly mixed into a smooth paste, add soy milk and turn heat down to low. Whisk frequently until slightly thickened.
- Stir in two-thirds (75g) of the vegan cheese and turn off the heat. Stir until sauce is thick and gloopy (see Note 1).
- When cauliflower is cool enough to handle, nestle the florets into a baking dish. Optional: you can also add half a cup of your favourite vegan sausage at this point.
- Pour the cheesy sauce evenly over the cauliflower. Sprinkle remaining cheese (40g) on top.
- Optional: top with black pepper, breadcrumbs, and/or vegan parm if you'd like.
- Bake at 375 °F (190 °C) on the second-to-top oven rack for 25 minutes.
Notes
- See video for example of the proper consistency of the sauce. It's okay if there are some lumpy bits of cheese still in the sauce; vegan cheeze is slower to melt so it's likely that your sauce will thicken before the cheeze is fully melted.
