Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes
- 2 medium carrots
- 0.5 head cauliflower
- 1 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by peeling the potatoes and sweet potatoes and cutting them into 1-inch pieces. Similarly, peel and slice the carrots and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Place the potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower into a large pot and fill it with water until the vegetables are just covered.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook the vegetables until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain the vegetables thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Add the unsweetened almond milk and vegan butter to the pot with the drained vegetables.
Using a potato masher or fork, mash the vegetables until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender.
Stir in the garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Transfer the mashed vegetables to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the creamy and comforting flavors!
