Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup roasted vegetables (e.g., carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and chopped potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the plant-based milk, vegan butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually add the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Stir in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened. Keep warm.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss your chosen veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. Divide the mashed potatoes into serving bowls. Top with a generous ladle of vegan gravy, roasted veggies, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Use a hand mixer for ultra-creamy potatoes, but avoid overmixing to prevent gumminess.’, ‘Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy depth to the gravy.’, ‘Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even roasting.’, ‘If gravy thickens too much, whisk in a splash of vegetable broth to loosen it.’]
