Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup cashews, soaked
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or using a non-stick spray.
- Drain the cashews from their soaking water and rinse thoroughly. Add the soaked cashews to a high-speed blender along with almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Blend the cashew mixture until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The sauce should be thick but pourable.
- Wash the cauliflower and cut into evenly sized florets, ensuring they are roughly the same size for uniform cooking.
- Spread the cauliflower florets evenly in the prepared baking dish, creating a single layer to ensure even cooking and sauce coverage.
- Pour the creamy cashew sauce over the cauliflower, making sure to coat each floret completely. Use a spatula to distribute the sauce evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the gratin rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set and cool slightly.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving for added color and flavor.
