Cauliflower Mac & Cheez

Ingredients:

• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 oz vegan cream cheese
• 1 whole jar of Notcho Nocheez™ (We used Tangy, but all 3 flavors would work!)
• ½ c coconut milk
• ½ tsp ground mustard
• ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 c vegan cheese shreds
• 4 Tbsp chives, chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°. Place your cauliflower florets on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and spread into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
2. While the cauliflower is roasting, you can prepare the cheese sauce by combining the cream cheese, Notcho Nocheez™, coconut milk, ground mustard, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika together in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until well combined and bubbling—about 5-7 minutes.
3. Take the cauliflower out of the oven and pour it into an 11x7" baking dish.
4. Pour your sauce over the top of the cauliflower and mix well.
5. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling.
6. Remove the dish from the oven and top with shredded cheese. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, until the cheese on the top is completely melted.
7. Remove from the oven for the final time, top with chopped chives, and serve!
