Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
- In a large pot, steam the cauliflower and broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked white beans, almond milk, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, 3 tsp salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Season with the remaining 1 tsp salt and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Grease a large casserole dish with a bit of vegan butter or cooking spray.
- Lay out a layer of potato slices on the bottom of the casserole dish.
- On top of the potatoes, spread a layer of sautéed mushrooms.
- Add a layer of steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets.
- Pour a portion of the white bean sauce over the vegetables, spreading it evenly.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of white bean sauce on top.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your vegan potato broccoli casserole warm!
Tips:
- Ensure that the potatoes are sliced evenly to promote uniform cooking.
- Steam or slightly pre-cook the broccoli and cauliflower florets to avoid undercooking, as they take longer to soften in the oven.
- Using nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor, which complements the casserole's overall taste.
- If you prefer a richer sauce, consider blending some soaked cashews with the white beans and almond milk.
- Add a bit of spice by increasing the amount of red pepper flakes, or using a dash of hot sauce.
- Experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini for added variety.
- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken.
