Roasted Cauliflower with a “Cheesy Sauce”!

I made this for dinner last night and let me tell you it sure was a treat. This vegan “cheesy sauce” even past the test of my dairy loving family. It was creamy, cheesy and delicious!

The yellowish colour of nutritional yeast comes from the concentration of the B vitamin riboflavin. Riboflavin helps protect your cells from oxygen damage, supports energy production and helps with absorption of other B vitamins. Also a great source of vitamins niacin, thiamine, biotin, and folic acid and minerals selenium, chromium, zinc, phosphorus, and magnesium.

Roasted Cauliflower

• ½ head of cauliflower, broken up into bite size pieces
• 2 tsp olive oil
Preheat oven to 350F. Place in an oven safe dish. Drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil. Cover with foil wrap and bake for 30-35 minutes or until tender.

“Cheesy Sauce”
• 3-4 tbsp of nutritional yeast

• 3 tbsp of tahini, cashew butter or combination of the two. I used Cashini Butter By: Artisana

• ½ juice of 1 lemon
• ¼ cup water
• 1 small clove of garlic
• 2 tbsp of diced onion
• Pinch of sea salt, to taste
Place in a food processor or high powered blender and blend until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Combining the two

When cauliflower is fully cooked, take out of oven and top with the cheesy sauce. Enjoy!
