Veggies
- 4 ounce Butler Soy Curls
- 1 pound broccoli, chopped
- 1 pound cauliflower, chopped
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup whole-grain bread crumbs (gluten-free if necesary) (about 1 slice whole-grain bread, finely ground)
- 1/4-1/2 cup chopped pecans or almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place the Soy Curls in a bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for 10 minutes or until fully rehydrated. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a steamer basket or microwave, steam the broccoli and cauliflower for 3-5 minutes or until tender-crisp.
- Combine the Soy Curls, broccoli, cauliflower, and onion in the lined baking pan, spreading everything evenly.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the sauce over the vegetables, then top with the bread crumbs and nuts.
- Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the bread crumbs and nuts are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. You can also turn the oven up to 425°-450° F during the last few minutes of baking in order to get that golden brown crust. Serve warm.
Notes
Substitute frozen broccoli and cauliflower for the quicker meal prep. Add grated carrots to the mix for a bit more color and nutrients.

I just made this dish! I double the sauce because it’s a lot of broccoli and cauliflower. I had to divide the vegetables and the curled soy because 9x 13 was too small. I also double the curled soy! I mixed the dried crumbs with nutritional yeast. This is a great topping with the pecans. So delicious!!! It’s a keeper. Especially when you want something different from légumes. Can wait to serve this to the rest of my family. I hope 🙏 for leftovers 😋
It is definitely a well rounded casserole pan and if your pans are a bit shallow, it’s a tight squeeze! Glad you enjoyed the recipe, especially the sauce:). Hope you get some leftovers because it’s even better the next day.🥦
