INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower Florets
125g Cooked Chickpeas
100g Firm Tofu
40g Cashews
16g Nutritional Yeast (approx. 2 tbsp)
5g Olive Oil (1 tsp)
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp Onion Powder
60ml Water
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a bowl, toss the cauliflower florets and chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower and chickpeas onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn crispy and golden, stirring halfway through for even browning.
Meanwhile, prepare the cashew cheese sauce: In a high-speed blender, combine cashews, firm tofu, nutritional yeast, water, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust water if needed for desired consistency.
Once roasted, transfer the crispy cauliflower and chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Pour the cashew cheese sauce over the top and gently mix until the florets are well-coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Enjoy your comforting and crunchy twist on mac and cheese!
