Ingredients

For the Risotto:

• 2 teaspoons oil of choice
• 1 onion (finely chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
• 1 cup arborio rice
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/3-1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• salt + pepper

For the Roasted Vegetables:

• 1 head cauliflower (cut in small florets)
• 1 zucchini (sliced into round pieces)
• 2 teaspoons avocado oil
• sea salt
• sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top

Preparation

For the Risotto:

1.  
   Heat a medium cast iron pan (or medium frying pan of choice) over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of oil of choice to the pan to heat up. Sauté the onion and garlic together over medium heat for roughly 5 minutes.
2.  
   Add in the 1 cup of rice. Let it toast up for 1 min or 2. Then add the 1/4 cup of white wine. After most of the wine has been absorbed, start adding in your vegetable broth, about 1 cup at a time. Once most of the broth has been absorbed add another cup of broth. Let the rice absorb it, while stirring often. Continue adding in 1 cup of broth at a time, until you have used all the broth. This should be done over medium heat. Stir periodically. It will take about 25 minutes before this process is complete.
3.  
   Next, add desired amount of salt and pepper, and the nutritional yeast. Mix together. Taste test the risotto and decide if you would prefer more nutritional yeast.

For the Roasted Vegetables:

1.  
   Preheat oven to 400°F.
2.  
   Cut the veggies so fairly small size. Coat veggies with 2 teaspoons of oil (I used avocado oil), sea salt and pepper.
3.  
   Place veggies on a lined baking sheet, and sprinkle a little bit of Nutritional Yeast on top (if desired).
4.  
   Roast for 30 minutes, checking them at the 20-minute mark and giving them a little toss/flip.
