Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Spread the broccoli florets evenly on the baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil.
Step 4
Toss the broccoli to coat them evenly with olive oil, and then spread them back out in a single layer.
Step 5
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy.
Step 6
While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut cream, nutritional yeast, tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully combined and the sauce is smooth and warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 8
Once the broccoli is done roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a large bowl.
Step 9
Pour the 'cheese' sauce over the roasted broccoli and toss to coat evenly.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with extra nutritional yeast if desired.
