Vegan Quinoa & Veggie Casserole with “Cheese” Sauce
A piping hot, comforting casserole can make any kind of day a whole lot better. But many typical casseroles are loaded with cheese that can leave you feeling bogged down. Instead, try this vegan dish – topped with a lighter cashew “cheese” sauce that’ll have you happily licking your fork. The filling is loaded with broccoli, kale and sun-dried tomatoes for a nutritious, delicious lunch or dinner (which can be easily reheated for leftovers!).
Vegan Quinoa & Veggie Casserole with “Cheese” Sauce
Casserole:
- 1-½ cups quinoa (uncooked)

- 1 cup kale (chopped, stems removed)
- Himalayan or sea salt
- 1 tsp. paprika
- Optional:
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
Cashew “Cheese” Sauce:
- 2 cups activated cashews*
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup yellow or white onion (chopped)
- 1 - 2 cups filtered water
