Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup vegan shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the sliced yellow squash and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture over the squash and onions in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the vegan shredded cheese until melted.
  9. Pour the squash mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  10. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil (optional). Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  12. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use zucchini instead of yellow squash, or a combination of both.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
