Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower florets
- 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 cups coconut milk, full-fat
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups spiralized sweet potato noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets and sliced carrot until they are tender, approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower and carrots with the nutritional yeast, coconut milk, ghee, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Transfer the sauce to a large saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to warm up, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat a separate non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the spiralized sweet potato noodles and sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and become slightly golden.
Step 5
Combine the sweet potato noodles with the cauliflower sauce in the large saucepan. Stir them together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and everything is heated through.
Step 6
Serve the Whole30 mac n cheese hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley for garnish.
