Crispy Baked Vegan Mac + Cheese
I was craving a deliciously creamy mac + cheese dish and decided to get creative! This is a play on traditional breadcrumb toppings. It’s been a while since I’ve had baked mac + cheese, mainly because it’s usually never available in a gluten-free AND dairy-free version! I want to warn you to control your portions on this one. It’s REALLY tasty and if you eat too much you will be uncomfortably full… trust me on this one 😉
I used nutritional yeast and turmeric to achieve the gorgeous golden color! Turmeric is one of my favorite ingredients because of its nutritional value. This delicious spice comes from a flowering plant and happens to be in the ginger family. It’s anti-inflammatory and has many amazing benefits including immune boosting qualities, supports relief of arthritis, joint pain, intestinal gas and colitis to name a few.
My mouthwatering Crispy Baked Vegan Mac + Cheese get’s it’s crisp from the gluten-free breadcrumbs that take minutes to make! If you don’t have stale gluten-free bread, just pop a few pieces in the toaster, and break into crumbs 🙂 I LOVE Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread! I would highly recommend this bread. I used Jovial Foods, Organic Brown Rice Elbow pasta for the mac. Another brand I would HIGHLY recommend! The pasta comes out perfect every time. I hope you love this deliciously healthy comfort food!
