So nutritional yeast.
What to say about it?
Hmm.
It’s…interesting.
And for awhile I found that whatever I put it in did not taste delicious.
But now that has changed…because I’ve found something to put it in.
It’s a creamy-cheesy-fluffy-wannabe souffle cauliflower dish.
I think I found how nutritional yeast was intended to be eaten.
Cheesy Cauliflower Souffle
serves 1 as an entree or 2 as a side dish
adapted from Healthier Steps
1 1/2 – 2 cups raw cauliflower florets
1/2 cup water (we want a creamy sauce so don’t add too much water or you’ll end up with a too liquidy sauce)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp tahini
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup cashews
1/8 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/3 cup red bell peppers
1 tsp lemon juice (juice from half of a small lemon)
Optional: Garnish with paprika
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a small casserole dish with non stick cooking spray or a little olive oil. Break the raw cauliflower into florets and place in the bottom of your dish. Blend the remaining ingredients until smooth. Pour the sauce oven the cauliflower and bake covered for 1 hour. Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve hot!
so glad I am not the only one who doesn’t love nutritional yeast. I recently just bought some and I was not impressed. I can’t wait to try this it looks fantastic
And the smell of nutritional yeast isn’t all that appetizing.
But this recipe has changed my opinion of it:) hope you like it!
Try it on hot popcorn w. some salt black pepper onion powder and garlic powder……….delicious
That looks like a crazy good riff on romesco sauce!
Haha:) it’s funny you should say that! I just learned what a romesco sauce was this morning on Goodmorning America!
Where do you find nutritional yeast at the store? I can never find it ANYWHERE!
I always find it in the bulk bin section of my grocery store! My normal grocery store carries it but you might try a natural foods store if you can’t find any! Don’t let the smell dissuade you from buying it : )
Health food stores always have it. KAL is the best.

Hi, try with fresh
yeast, it taste even more cheesy and is very fluffy…very yummy
I’ve never even thought of try that! Just normal yeast like you would use for baking bread?
What do you mean by fresh yeast?
Instead of the onion and garlic powder, I doubled the recipe and used 1/4c of chopped onion and 1/3c chopped garlic (I love my bulbs!). Amazing, and so easy!
One of the best things about having a blog is having all these creative people share their great ideas with you! I’ll have to try this out:)
