Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the butternut squash, onion, garlic and water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat for about 5 minutes or until everything is soft. Remove from heat when done.

Step 3

While the squash is cooking, place cauliflower and broccoli in a steamer. Steam for 3 minutes or until tender.

Step 4

To make the "cheese" sauce, add the cashews, nutritional yeast, salt and paprika to your blender. Pour in the softened butternut squash, onion, garlic and water. Blend on high for about 1 minute or until smooth. (Note: If you do not have a high powered blender, you might need to add a little extra water to get it going. Add 1 tbsp at a time.)

Step 5

Place the steamed cauliflower and broccoli into a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the veggies and stir gently to mix.

Step 6

Bake for 40 minutes. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
