Preparation

To Roast the Sweet Potato and Broccoli:

5. Roast the sweet potato on a baking tray lined with tinfoil for 40 minutes. After 25 minutes, add the broccoli florets.

To Make the Cheesy Sauce:

1. In medium sauce pan melt the vegan butter over medium-high heat.
2. Once the butter is melted add in the flour and whisk to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low.
3. Add the non-dairy milk and nutritional yeast to whisk to combine. Add the rest of the ingredients and turn the heat to low.
