How to Prepare Baked Sweet Potatoes With Cashew Cauliflower Cream [Vegan]

Pre-heat oven to 400° and bake sweet potatoes for one hour, until the potato is soft.
While the potato is baking, make the Cashew Cauliflower Cream and the veggies

For the Cauliflower Cream:

Place the cauliflower in a pan along with 1 cup of water and simmer for 10 minutes.
Turn off heat, drain and set aside.
Drain and discard the water from the cashews and place the cashews in a blender, along with the cauliflower, apple cider vinegar, sea salt and water.
Blend for several minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Refrigerate.

To Make the Veggies:

Place the broccoli and 1 cup of water in a pan and simmer for 3 minutes.
Drain and set aside.
Heat the 1/2 cup of water in a skillet and saute the onions for 2 minutes.
Add cabbage and mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the broccoli, basil and salt. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Note: If the water evaporates, just add a little more.

Assemble:

Place the potatoes on a plate and evenly distribute the veggies.
Top with Cashew Cauliflower Cream.

Notes

You can easily make the Cashew Cauliflower Cream in advance. I actually recommend it so it will be nice and chilled when you’re ready to use it. If you have a non-stick pan, use it for this veggie recipe. Use the cashew cauliflower cream within 4 days.
