Cauliflower casserole – vegan and gluten free one pan spiced dish
This cauliflower casserole is definitely one easy dish you can make when you have a few ingredients on hand. You’ll need mushroom and cauliflower topped with spices. Quinoa is optional. I also added some coconut milk to add some creaminess and my cashew vegan parmesan cream. However, you can simplify the recipe if you want by omitting the cashew cream.
I would keep the coconut cream to get a delicious vegan creamy texture with the cauliflower. The sun dried tomatoes add a lot to this recipe by enhancing the paprika taste.
This recipe is inspired by the Cauliflower Casserole on Colleen’s blog. I made some twist by adding other spices and coconut cream to her original recipe. If you are looking for mouth-watering recipe, go there you’ll definitely enjoy it!
