About the Recipe
This is a simple and easy recipe for vegan cauliflower sauce. Garlic, along with a little soy sauce and nutmeg are the secret ingredients that give this sauce it’s full flavor.
Note: even though this recipe is as close to a vegan Alfredo sauce as it gets…it will still taste like cauliflower! It’s creamy, garlic-y, and delicious – but still has plenty of cauliflower flavor.
Tips for Making Vegan Cauliflower Sauce
- Don’t overcook your garlic: when sauteeing your garlic, cook it for only 1 – 2 minutes and remove it from the heat if it starts to brown. You don’t want to brown your garlic as it can cause the sauce to have a bitter taste.
- If your sauce is too thick: add more of the reserved liquid from your stockpot, or more oat/almond milk
- Blend well: blend your sauce until it’s completely smooth and creamy. If you don’t blend your sauce enough it will have a grainy texture.
