Cauliflower and Courgette Bake


Another cauliflower and nutritional yeast combo! Unlike the cauliflower pasta recipe, this dish takes a little more time to prepare and contains courgettes and a cheesy, nutty batter to form a quiche-like meal, but without any eggs or cheese! It's great for lunch and will go nicely alongside a baked potato. I may even add chopped mushrooms next time.

  1. I tried this recipe and it tasted delicious. Next time I make it I will make it thinner so it's more crispy.
