Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. In a small bowl combine the topping ingredients.
  2. Cook the cauliflower florets in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 to 6 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain and set aside.
  3. In an oven safe skillet large enough to hold the cauliflower florets, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté another minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the arrowroot or cornstarch over the mixture and stir until combined. Slowly pour the almond beverage into skillet whisking to combine everything. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly for about 1-2 minutes or until it's thickened. Pour the mixture into a food processor or blender and add in the nutritional yeast, dijon, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Purée until smooth and taste for seasoning, adjust as needed.
  5. Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and pour the sauce over them. Top with vegan cheese (if using it) and then cover everything with the panko topping. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown. If the topping isn't browned enough, set the oven to broil and bake several more minutes. Remove from the oven and top with sliced almonds, chopped parsley and fresh thyme.
