This delicious roasted vegan cauliflower cheese no nuts recipe is dairy free, keto, gluten free and uses butter beans as a base. This means it’s high in both protein and fibre.

A great comfort recipe that is low in carbs, low in fat and free of oil. If you want a creamier cheese sauce then you can add a few tbsp of a cold pressed oil like olive oil.

The cauliflower is dry roasted to give a golden colour and a grilled taste. As no oil is used you need to keep a sharp eye on the oven when the cauliflower is roasting so it’s taken out at exactly the right moment. If the cauliflower starts to burn this can give a bitter taste.

You can steam the cauliflower if you prefer, but I think roasting gives a better taste as it’s less watery.

Whole sesame seeds are used to give a creamy sauce but they also add calcium and magnesium to this dairy free cauliflower cheese dish.

The sun-dried tomatoes add salt to the dish. If you don’t have any just replace with a pinch of salt. Serves 2 as a main or 6 as a side dish.

This healthy cauliflower cheese is suitable for vegan/dairy-free, paleo, grain-free, keto, gluten-free and oil-free diets.

The sesame is used in this to give some heart healthy fats and taste. I know many are allergic to sesame or don’t like it and the vegan cauliflower cheese recipe works just as well without it.

I love this vegan cauliflower cheese recipe as it’s got a rich cheesy taste despite being nut free and dairy free. It’s loaded with good stuff and its low carb and filling,

Nutritional yeast is the star of the show as it gives a cheesy and nutty taste while also adding lots of B vitamins. It’s got an unfortunate name so some call nutritional yeast nootch or hippy dust. You can make it without nootch if you can’t get hold of any but the taste will be missing something. A tablespoon of yeast extract like vegemite or marmite is a good substitute.

I often adapt this recipe to add some almonds or cashew nuts. This makes it a bit more creamy with some healthy fats and extra protein. I didn’t use nuts in the original recipe just to make a dairy free cauliflower cheese that’s a bit different to other recipes. It’s free of cashews as its all too easy to include them in every vegan cheese dish.

Remember not to throw away the cauliflower leaves as they are edible and full of vitamins – just as healthy as kale! Make them into a cauliflower leaves stir-fry.
