Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large broccoli crowns
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the broccoli into florets and steam them until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
Add coconut milk and vegetable broth to the onion mixture. Stir well to combine.
Whisk in the nutritional yeast, cornstarch, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes.
Place the broccoli in a greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
Pour the thickened sauce over the broccoli, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture over the broccoli and sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free broccoli gratin!
