But when you want a classic comfort food and you’re vegan, this is the recipe to make. Of course, I personally don’t qualify this as a “healthier” baked vegan mac and cheese. You can still have a vegan mac and cheese while using a store bought vegan shredded cheese (and I’ll list my favorites below). This means no blending up vegetables to make the sauce. I think there are some wonderful vegan mac and cheese recipes that use vegetables in the sauces, but sometimes you just want something super quick and easy to make! I wanted to keep the ingredients to this healthier mac and cheese really simple and straight forward. And if you’re doing Veganuary or just looking for a plant-based version of your favorite favorite winter comfort food, this is your recipe. Serve warm.This vegan mac and cheese is perfect as a main dish or side dish for vegan Thanksgiving, or any holiday dinner, weeknight dinner, or family gathering. Top with hemp seeds, scallions, and smoked paprika, as desired.You can dig in there, or you can take one more optional step: Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the mac and cheese and place it in the oven to broil until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and toasted.Carefully mix until all of the noodles are coated and uniform. Add the noodles into the cast iron skillet (used above) and then pour over the cheese sauce.Add additional vegetable broth or water if too thick or cornstarch if too thin, and blend again until smooth. Add the cooked onions and garlic, soaked cashews and the steamed vegetables to a high-speed blender along with the remaining ingredients except for the cornstarch and blend until completely smooth.In a small steamer, steam the potatoes and optional carrots until fork tender, about 8 minutes.Add in the onions and garlic, and for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and the onions become translucent. In a medium cast iron skillet, add in 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth.
