This is a spin on scalloped potatoes; we’re using sweet potatoes instead! Because of the extra firm silken tofu, we end up at 25% protein!

Ingredients

  • 22 oz Extra Firm Silken Tofu I used Mori Nu
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 1 bulb Garlic minced
  • 3 Sweet Potatoes medium, thinly slice (recommend using a mandolin)
  • 6 cup Baby Bella Mushrooms sliced
  • 6 cup Baby Spinach
  • 1/2 cup Soy Milk unsweetened
  • 3/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 2 cup Vegan Shredded Cheddar Cheese I used Violife Cheddar shreds

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 F (191 C).
  • In a medium-heat skillet, saute onions until translucent. Add garlic and saute for another 3 - 5 minutes, stirring regularly to avoid burning.
  • Peal and thinly slice your sweet potatoes (I used a mandolin - be very careful if you do this).
  • In a blender, blend the cooked onion/garlic, milk, nutritional yeast, tofu, and all the spices until smooth and creamy.
  • In a medium-heat skillet, saute the mushrooms and spinach; you want to get most of the moisture out of it.
  • In a casserole dish, spread a thin layer of our sauce.
  • Then layer as follows:
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Sauce
  • Mushroom/spinach
  • Cheese
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Sauce
  • Mushroom/spinach
  • Cheese
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Sauce
  • Mushroom/spinach
  • Cheese
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Sauce
  • Cook for 45minutes.
  • Take out, add remaining shredded cheese on top and cook for an additional 15 - 20 minutes. This will keep the cheese from drying out.
  • You will know this dish is done when sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
