A deliciously easy recipe to add to my 15min main meals. This Vegan Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese Casserole is filled with goodness and nutrition. A filling meal for the whole family.

This delicious, simple recipe is upped a notch with the addition of a creamy, flavoursome, Vegan Cheesy Sauce – fully vegan & fully tasty! To keep this recipe vegan, I used almond milk, although you can use any plant based milk.

Making your cheesy sauce for your Vegan Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese Casserole is super quick and simple. Like all my sauces, I add everything into a NutriBullet or high speed blender, with minimum chopping & dishes to clean and most importantly minimum time!

Ingredients

1 cup raw, unsalted cashew nuts

1 small cauliflower head cut into florets

1 small broccoli head cut into florets

2 cups almond milk or any plant based milk

¼ cup gluten-free oat flour or any preferred flour

¼ cup nutritional yeast (this gives great cheesy flavour)

¼ cup lemon juice

1 Tspn chopped garlic (or 2 cloves)

1 Tspn salt

½ Tbsp mustard (I used Biona but any Dijon goes well)

1 low salt stock cube (I use Kallo)

1 cup water

1 cup grated vegan cheese optional (or preferred cheese)

2 small onions sliced thinly in rings

½ cup bread crumbs (I used gluten-free)

Method

Soak your cashew nuts in very hot water for 10min

In a tiered steam pan, steam your cauliflower & Broccoli florets for about 5min. You can test if ready by poking a knife through the hard stem and if it goes through easily then it's ready. Make sure your broccoli remains green. Yellow broccoli is overcooked broccoli.

Whilst you wait for your veggies to steam, in a blender cup add all your ingredients apart from the grated cheese, onion rings & bread crumbs.

Dissolve the stock cube in 1 cup hot water and add to your blender cup

Add your cashews in last so they are softened enough

Blitz the cheesy sauce to a runny consistency. I like dipping bread into the casserole sauce but if you prefer a firmer consistency, add half the amount of milk listed in the ingredients

In a baking dish, spread out your steamed florets

Pour over your cheesy sauce

Top up with vegan grated cheese, onion rings & bread crumbs

Grill in the oven on high for 5min or until brown and toasty
