CAULIFLOWER VEGGIE PACKED NACHOS WITH A HOMEMADE VEGAN CHEESE SAUCE

CAULIFLOWER VEGGIE PACKED NACHOS WITH A HOMEMADE VEGAN CHEESE SAUCE We make veggie based nachos almost weekly in our house. It takes a little time to prep all the chopped veggies but it makes a huge batch so you can eat it for days. I love meal preps like this because it saves time and helps you extend healthy eating into the week. These may not be the type of nachos you can eat by hand but they are so delicious and such a fun way to get in more veggies.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cauliflower, oil, salt, paprika and garlic powder on the baking sheet.place in the oven for 25 minutes. Then add the zucchini, bell pepper, tomato, beans and corn to a bowl and toss together. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and then spoon the veggie mixture on top of the cauliflower. Place back in the oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile add the cheese sauce ingredients (using the smaller amount of water first) to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend and add more water as needed to thin. Its okay for it to be a little runny to pour over the nachos but you don’t want it watery (if it ends up a little runny just add more cashews). Remove the nachos from the oven and pour the cheese sauce over the nachos. Place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy. *option to use 2 heads of cauliflower and 2 cans of black beans id you want a big portion. Just adjust the seasoning and oil for the cauliflower.
