Ingredients

(Makes 4-6 servings)

1.5 lbs small potatoes, quartered (8–10 small potatoes or 12–15 tiny ones)

1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped

1 cup carrots, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 2 medium carrots)

2 cups broccoli florets (about 1 medium head)

1 cup mushrooms, sliced 1/8 to1/4-inch thick

1 cup unsweetened plant milk (I used oat)

1/2 cup nutritional yeast

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

2 tsp coconut aminos

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

1 Tbsp arrowroot powder (or cornstarch for thickening)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:

Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Roast the Vegetables:

Line a casserole dish with parchment paper.

Spread the quartered potatoes, onion, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms evenly on a large sheet pan.

Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are slightly caramelized.

3. Blend the Sauce While Veggies Roast:

Add the following to a blender: plant milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, coconut aminos, lemon juice, and arrowroot powder.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble and Bake:

Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the vegetables, ensuring everything is coated.

Lower oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Bake for 15–20 minutes, uncovered, until bubbling and slightly golden on top.

5. Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Pro tips

Customize Your Veggies: Swap out broccoli or cauliflower for other favorites like Brussels sprouts or bell peppers.

Thickness Tip: If the sauce seems too thin, add an extra teaspoon of arrowroot powder when blending.

Meal Idea: Serve with brown rice, black lentils, and a salad to stretch it to 6 servings.

Hi, I'm Alejandra

Founder Of Without Statins

I stumbled onto a natural way to lower cholesterol—totally by accident.

While building a research-based weight loss program, people with high cholesterol kept asking, “Will this improve my cholesterol too?”

To our surprise, many came back just weeks later saying, “My cholesterol is already back to normal.”

That’s when it hit me: With high cholesterol running deep in my own family history, it became a no-brainer — I had to enhance the program to help more people avoid meds and finally stop worrying.
