• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons olive oil

• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 stalk celery stalk, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups cooked lentils
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 0.5 cups frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender or food processor. Add almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until creamy and smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cooked lentils, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), thyme, and rosemary. Stir to combine and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas and simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Pour the lentil and vegetable mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish or equivalent oven-safe dish. Spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Spoon the cauliflower mash over the vegetable mixture, spreading it to completely cover the filling.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your nutritious, low-carb vegan shepherd's pie!
