Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 small head cauliflower
- 1 small head broccoli
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and chop the cauliflower and broccoli into small bite-sized florets.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and broccoli and sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, and cream cheese over medium heat. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream mixture. Stir well to combine.
In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the sautéed broccoli and cauliflower at the bottom. Place a layer of zucchini slices on top.
Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the vegetables. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Repeat with the remaining broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, cream mixture, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the gratin cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
