Baked Cauliflower Mac with Crispy Chickpea Crumbs
Enjoy a comforting bowl of baked cauliflower mac where tender cauliflower florets meet a rich, cheesy sauce with a crispy, roasted chickpea crumb topping. This dish bursts with flavor from nutritional yeast and warming spices, offering a satisfying twist on a classic comfort meal.
INGREDIENTS
300 grams Cauliflower
82 grams Canned Chickpeas (drained)
2 ounces Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tablespoon Whole Wheat Flour
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Mustard Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Once steamed, transfer to a large bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine unsweetened almond milk, whole wheat flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk over medium heat until the mixture thickens to form a smooth sauce, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the warm sauce over the steamed cauliflower and mix well to coat evenly. Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese so it begins to melt into the sauce.
Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Drain the canned chickpeas and gently pat them dry. Using a fork, lightly mash them to create a coarse crumb texture. Sprinkle the chickpea crumbs evenly over the cauliflower mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
