Exclusively from my book, this bake is so moreish you’ll be going back for seconds. It’s the perfect side dish to bring to that classic Kiwi barbecue. It’s a known fact that I love summer — I also love having everyone gathered around, sharing and eating yummy food. This dish is simple but the perfect addition to any potluck.

Ingredients

  • ½ cauliflower, cut into florets

  • ½ broccoli, cut into florets

  • 1 carrot, sliced

  • ½ cup peas

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp plain flour or tapioca flour for gluten-free option

  • 2 cups plant milk

  • ½ cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp pepper

  • ½ cup panko crumbs

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Steam the cauliflower, broccoli and carrot for around 7 minutes until just soft then add to a baking dish along with the peas.
  • Make the cheese sauce by adding the olive oil and flour to a pot over medium heat and mixing well until combined.
  • Add in the plant milk and whisk to combine. Once warm add the nutritional yeast, salt and pepper and keep mixing until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Pour the sauce over the steamed vegetables and top with panko crumbs. Place in the oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden. Serve with torn spinach, microgreens and parsley.
