This Roasted Cauliflower Bake with Miso Cheese Sauce is a delightful dish that turns humble cauliflower into a cheesy comfort food sensation!


Ingredients

4
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

2

In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.

3

Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.

4

Meanwhile, prepare the miso cheese sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the almond milk and flour until smooth.

5

Add the nutritional yeast, miso paste, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

6

Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and pour the miso cheese sauce over it, mixing until evenly coated.

7

Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

8

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Chef's Tips

For extra crunch, sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top before the final bake.
Adjust the miso for a stronger or milder flavour as per your preference.
Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.

Troubleshooting

If the sauce is too thick, whisk in additional almond milk until desired consistency is reached.
If the cauliflower isn’t browning, consider broiling it for the last few minutes.

Recipe Variations

Add spinach or kale for extra greens.
Incorporate different spices like curry powder for a fusion twist.

Healthy Alternatives

Use cashew milk instead of almond milk for a richer taste.
Replace all-purpose flour with almond flour for a low-carb option.
