Buffalo Mac ‘n Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Dip the cauliflower florets in the batter and fry them until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Vegan Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat, whisking until smooth and thickened.

  4. 4

    Combine and Toss

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir well to combine. Toss in the fried cauliflower and buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Garlicky Greens

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped kale or spinach and cook until wilted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Buffalo Mac ‘n Cheese hot, garnished with additional buffalo sauce if desired, alongside the garlicky greens.
