Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, sliced carrots
- 1 large, sliced zucchini
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup, trimmed green beans
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower to the pot, and cook for 4-5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the almond milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and cook until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
Gently fold in the blanched vegetables along with the green beans and zucchini slices to the sauce in the skillet.
Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are fully cooked and coated in the creamy sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the vegetables before serving.
Serve warm as a main course or as a side dish to complement any meal.
