Recipe of the Week: Cheesy Broccoli

Avatar of Christina-F

Posted March 8, 2012 by Christina

Since vegetables are our theme this month for the “Recipe of the Week” blog series, I figured there was no better side dish to make than a vegan version of cheesy broccoli!

Cheese is traditionally made from cow’s milk and contains saturated fat, cholesterol, and pus. Yes, pus. The best thing about vegan cheese is that you can make a sauce with it, and it won’t be contaminated with all the junk that’s in dairy cheese. How awesome is that?

Cheesy Broccoli on a plate

Cheesy Broccoli
2 tsp. olive oil
1/3 bag frozen broccoli
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
3 Tbsp. soy milk
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Dash chili powder

  • Put the olive oil and broccoli into a pan and cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Place the broccoli on a plate and drizzle the sauce over it.

Makes 2 small servings

Yum! What’s your fave vegetable?

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
