Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen tater tots (about 32 oz)
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Broccoli: In a saucepan, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until just tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium heat, whisking until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: In a large baking dish, layer the steamed broccoli evenly. Pour the creamy sauce over the broccoli, ensuring it is well coated. Top with frozen tater tots, arranging them in a single layer.
  5. Add Optional Topping: If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the tater tots for an extra crunch.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your hearty Vegan Broccoli Tater Tot Casserole!
