Why roast the Brussels sprouts first in this recipe?

Roasting them with olive oil and sea salt for 20 minutes at a high temperature (425 degreesF/450 degreesF) helps tenderize them and develop a deeper flavor before they're baked in the sauce.

What kind of vegan cheese works best for this gratin?

The recipe specifically calls for vegan smoked gouda cheese, which adds a distinct flavor, but you can use your favorite vegan cheese as an alternative.

Can I make this Brussels Sprouts Gratin ahead of time?

You can roast the Brussels sprouts and prepare the sauce separately. Combine them in the casserole dish and bake just before serving for the best texture.

What is tapioca flour used for in this gratin recipe?

Tapioca flour is whisked with vegan butter to create a smooth roux, which thickens the coconut milk into a creamy, gluten-free sauce for the gratin.

How should I store leftover Brussels Sprouts Gratin?

Store any leftover gratin in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
