This cauliflower mac and cheese recipe is SO fun and delicious! Just like regular mac and cheese, it's creamy and comforting, but it's made with veggies instead of pasta.
Ingredient
1 recipe Vegan Cheese Sauce
1 additional garlic clove
½ teaspoon additional sea salt
Heaping ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of cayenne
1 large cauliflower, just over 2 pounds broken into ½-inch florets
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
Parmesan or Vegan Parmesan, for serving, optional
Direction
Make the cheese sauce according to this recipe, blending in the additional garlic clove, the additional ½ teaspoon salt, the smoked paprika, and cayenne.
Preheat the oven broiler.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil the cauliflower florets for 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the cheese sauce and stir to coat. Transfer to an 8x8-inch baking dish and top with the panko. Broil for 2 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and serve with Parmesan or vegan Parmesan, if desired.
