Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets lightly steamed
  • 1½ cups chopped vegan chicken seitan or soy curls
  • ½ cup coconut bacon or store-bought vegan bacon bits
  • 1 cup vegan shredded cheese cheddar-style preferred
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot starch or tapioca flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1½ tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease your casserole dish with olive oil.
  • Steam cauliflower until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet, sauté vegan chicken in olive oil until browned and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Toss in coconut bacon and cook 2 more minutes to bring the flavor drama.
  • In a bowl, whisk almond milk, arrowroot starch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix everything—cauliflower, vegan chicken, bacon, sauce, and cheese—into a bowl like you’re the CEO of flavor.
  • Pour into the casserole dish, smooth the top, and sprinkle extra cheese on top (because we’re not savages).
  • Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until golden and bubbly like it knows it’s hot.
  • Let cool 5 minutes, garnish with chives, and serve that sass on a plate.
