Instructions

  1. 1

    Add cup cauliflower florets (4 heaped), butternut squash (4 cup), and vegetable broth (32 oz) to a pot. Simmer on the stovetop for 10 minutes or pressure cook for 4 minutes until fork-tender.

  2. 2

    In a non-stick skillet, heat water (0.25 cup) and add garlic cloves (10 clove). Sauté for 3 minutes until the water evaporates and the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 3

    Transfer the tender vegetables to a blender along with the sautéed garlic, nutritional yeast (0.5 cup), coconut milk (0.75 cup), sweet paprika (1 tsp), cayenne pepper (1 pinch), kosher salt (1.5 tsp), and black pepper ground (1 pinch).

  4. 4

    Blend until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding small amounts of the vegetable cooking broth if needed.
