Vegan Gluten Free Mac & Cheese

Deliciously baked Vegan Gluten Free Mac & Cheese with carrots, nutritional yeast, rice milk, and vegan cheese.

How this recipe came about

I was invited to a friendsgiving dinner party a few years back. I wanted to make a dish that everyone could eat. Especially the hosts who were gluten free and vegan.

The Perfect Pairing

If you are anything like me, I tend to get a little eater’s remorse after a huge serving size of mac and cheese. This apple bacon walnut spinach salad should make you feel better.

Notes

You can make gf breadcrumbs by combining 1 tbs nutritional yeast with 1 tbs gf flour (like almond). Sprinkle with cayenne, salt, and garlic powder. I use Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds. It’s important (to me) to find gluten free elbows with grooves on the outside for maximum cheese coverage.
