    The BEST, Easiest, Lowest Calorie and Virtually Fat-Free Vegan "Cheese" Sauce
    1 - 16-ounce bag of frozen cauliflower, defrosted
    1 roasted red bell pepper (if you use jarred, soak well in water first to remove the salt)
    3 Tablespoons lemon juice
    2 teaspoons SMOKED paprika
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder, more or less to taste
    ¼ cup water (or just enough to get the batter to blend)
    ¼ cup nutritional yeast (or more, to taste)
    This is the brand of Nutritional Yeast I used:

    I made this recipe, adding a pinch of tumeric, then a little tapioca starch and heating it so the cheese is stretchy. Then, I mixed it into a pound of macaroni. My adult son said it was as good as the dairy mac and cheese he ate growing up. He ended up asking if he could take home the rest of the pan!

    This cheese sauce is necessary now. There are way too many high fat vegan cheeses and sauces out there. Thank you, Chef AJ, for a nutritious and delicious option for those of us who follow a SOFAS free approach to our wfpe & vegan lifestyle.🙏💟💟

    I use a fresh jalapeno in my cheese sauce. This is great using the cauliflower as I have been using white beans. Thank u so much

      Beans are a great idea as well. I’m going to try the sauce using both beans and cauliflower. And adding a fresh chili or jalapeño is also a great idea I read in these comments. Wonderful ideas!

    Delicious recipe! I just tried it because I was wondering what to do with some leftover steamed cauliflower that I had. I didn't have time to roast my bell pepper so I just put a fresh bell pepper in and added a bit more smoked paprika to make up for the roasted taste. Thank you so much!

    Nice, thank you for showing us. I love to blend cashews and tofu and then culture it for a more authentic "cheesy" flavor (also I can make it in bulk and it lasts longer), but it is definitely on the higher calorie side. So I plan on trying a half and half version to cut down on the fat/calories.
    Meanwhile, I should stop torturing myself, as I'm on the 10th day of a water and very low calorie-low sodium veggie broth fast.

    Cruciferous health for the body can be a bonus here if one adds mustard powder or a bit of other raw cruciferous veg so the enzymes will work their magical goodness to make sulforaphane. Cruciferous vegetables kill cancer in vitro and appear to help that in bodies too! as well as cutting covid replication in half and feeding healthy cells for health & energy. 💚 Thank you Chef AJ for the recipe it looks so easy I am definitely getting frozen cauli with my next grocery run ❤

    • @BethShearon
      @BethShearon Рік тому

      The raw cruciferous doesn't have to be added to the cheese sauce, just add it to your mouth 😄

    I have made and eaten or not eaten so many cheesy sauce recipes and most are just "meh." I stopped calling them cheese sauce and just call them creamy sauce as none taste like cheese. I have a head of cauliflower in my fridge and need a sauce for a recipe tomorrow. I'm going to try this one. Simple, quick and easy gets my vote. The ones using potatoes and carrots are just too labor intensive and I'm allergic to all nuts. So I'm eager to try this one.

    Is it possible to come up with a “cheese” sauce without using nutritional yeast…for those of us with Crohn’s and who need to avoid all yeast? Would this be worth making with the nooch?
