Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head cauliflower chopped into florets (~4 cups)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tsp salt or more if you’re dramatic
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
  • ¾ cup vegan shredded cheddar-style cheese
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional, but highly Instagrammable)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly oil your baking dish.
  • Steam cauliflower florets until fork-tender, about 6–8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium. Whisk in arrowroot powder to make a paste.
  • Slowly pour in almond milk while whisking. Let it thicken for 2–3 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic powder, mustard powder, paprika, salt, and nutritional yeast.
  • Add vegan shredded cheese and stir until melted into cheesy magic.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss cauliflower with the sauce until fully coated in creamy glory.
  • Transfer to the baking dish and smooth the top.
  • Sprinkle more cheese or nutritional yeast on top if you’re feeling extra.
  • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  • Let it cool for 5 minutes before diving in like it’s your first meal in days.
