I love making lasagna and have been searching for a dairy & gluten free béchamel alternative for a while now and finally created this incredible sauce. It can also ake the most amazing nacho cheese style dip with the addition of a few jalapeños.

Key Facts

  • Vegan
  • Gluten & dairy free
  • Prep ahead
  • Massive crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 small onion or leek
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon each garlic & onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon white miso paste
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup warm water

Preparation

01

Roughly chop your vegetables, add the potatoes & carrots to a pan, bring to the boil & cook for 10 minutes or until a knife inserts easily.

02

Meanwhile slice your onions, add to a small pan with 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil with 2-3 tablespoons of water & gently sauté with a lid on until soft. Stir occasionally.

03

Drain your potatoes & carrots, shake off the excess water & add to a blender with everything else except the water. Blitz until smooth then thin out until at your desired consistency, the longer you blend the smoother & thicker the sauce will become as the starch is released from the potatoes.

Keep in the fridge using within 4-5 days if you don’t use straight away.
