Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and zucchini, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth. This will serve as your creamy base for the casserole.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the greased casserole dish. Layer the cooked vegetables on top of the hash browns.
Pour the almond milk mixture evenly over the vegetables and hash browns, ensuring everything is coated.
Sprinkle the shredded dairy-free cheese evenly across the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
