Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, cooked vegetables, and 1 cup of dairy-free shredded cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the liquid mixture over the hash brown mixture and stir well to combine.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread the hash brown mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of dairy-free cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
