Easy veg packed One Pot meal

Yes, you read that right-NO (added) OIL (there's a bit in the oat milk, but that's it!) for all the WFPBNO champions. We're talking potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, corn, peas, kale, cabbage, tofu, avocado...and that's not even counting the fresh, smoky green bean pico that tops it off. You'll feed the entire family, and still have leftovers for tomorrow. Whole foods, plant based never tasted so good!
Recipe below 👇
NO-OIL VEGGIE NACHO CASSEROLE
Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
Veg:
3 medium gold potatoes, with skins
11 small plum tomatoes
3 jalapeños
8 oz/225 g green beans
2 cups/225 g cauliflower florets
2 cups/225 g broccoli florets
3 cups/200 g baby kale leaves
1 1/2 cups/250 g frozen corn kernels
1 1/2 cups/200 g frozen peas
1 cup/70 g rough chopped red cabbage
1 tub (14 oz/400 g) extra-firm pressed tofu, drained
1 onion, peeled
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp dried oregano
Green Bean Salsa:
4 oz/115 g green beans
1/2 small red onion
1 handful cilantro
2 limes, juiced
Queso Sauce:
2 small sweet potatoes
2 cups/225 g cauliflower florets
6 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
About 1/3 cup/30 g nutritional yeast
About 1 cup/240 ml oat milk
3 big handfuls tortilla chips
1/2 avocado
Instructions
For the veg:
Quarter the potatoes, cover with water and poach until tender, 10-12 minutes.
Bring another big pot of water to a boil for blanching the veg.
Meanwhile, heat up a grill, broiler, or gas burner. Grill or broil the tomatoes and jalapeños until charred all over, 5-6 minutes, turning now and then. When done, set aside.
Cut the green beans in half crosswise. Blanch the halved green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, and kale in the boiling water for 1 minute. Drain then transfer the blanched veg to a 3-qt/2.8-L baking dish. Mix in the poached potatoes, corn, peas, and cabbage. Season with a little salt.
Preheat the oven to 420ºF/215ºC. Cut the tofu into 1-inch/2.5-cm cubes and place in a mixing bowl. Cut the onion into 2-inch/5-cm pieces and add it to the bowl. Rough chop 1 of the charred tomatoes and add that to the bowl. Season with the cumin, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano.
Heat a large heavy pan such as cast iron over medium heat. Add the seasoned veg to the hot pan (no oil needed) and cook until seared on a few sides, 4-5 minutes total. Then pop the pan in the oven until the veg is nicely roasted, 8-10 minutes. Leave the oven on. Meanwhile, slice 2 of the charred jalapeños for later.
For the salsa, dice 7 of the remaining charred tomatoes and 1 of the jalapenos (not the sliced ones) and add them to a mixing bowl. Finely chop the 4 oz/115 g raw green beans and red onion and add them to the bowl. Rough chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl. Add the lime juice and a pinch each of cumin, salt, and black pepper, and toss to mix.
Remove the veg from the oven and transfer all the veg to the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
For the queso:
Peel the sweet potatoes and place in a medium pot with the cauliflower, garlic, and bay leaf. Add water to cover and season with a little salt. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until the veg is tender, 6-8 minutes.
Transfer the remaining 3 charred tomatoes to a blender along with 1 of the sliced charred jalapenos. Remove the bay leaf from the simmering veg, then drain and transfer to the blender. Add the cumin, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, nutritional yeast, and about 1/3 cup/80 ml of the oat milk. Start blending slow and if the mixture is too thick to blend, drizzle in just enough oat milk so it blends. Once it's blending good, turn the speed to high and blend until it becomes a nice, thick, silky smooth queso style sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more oat milk as you go. It should be thick yet pourable. If you like, blend in a big handful of tortilla chips - they add tons of flavor!
Pour about 2 cups/475 ml of the sauce evenly over the veg in the dish, shaking the dish to get the sauce in the cracks. Save the remaining sauce to use as a dip or with another cheesy dish (it keeps for a week in the fridge!). Crush two big handfuls of tortilla chips and scatter them over the sauce. Then arrange the remaining sliced charred jalapeno over top. Cube the avocado and scatter that over the top as well.
Bake until just starting to crisp up on top, 10-12 minutes. Spoon some of the green bean pico over the nachos and serve hot with the remaining pico. Enjoy!

NOW you’re talking my WFPB language!! Thank you for this. 🔥🔥🔥

[@DerekSarnoChef]

You're so welcome!

[@kathyshelley9817]

Gonna try this one!! Please do this style of wfpb no oil recipe more often! I absolutely love to watch your channel and your recipes all look so amazing! I just can't eat most of them because my health requires that I stick with very low or fat free versions.. Thank you!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

We will try to do more like this! Thanks for all of your support!!

[@anissaa1520]

Wicked Products are on sale at Kroger Stores this week. I want to try the sauces, pesto, meals. This looks good!

[@czeckeredcat]

Wow, what a clever way to pack in the vegetables on game day! Thanks for this oil-free recipe!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

You bet! Hope you enjoy it!

[@Julie31596]

This looks truly amazing .... just looking at the colours of the rainbow make this dish look so appetising (and my tummy grumbles). It's also a great recipe for any leftover veggies you have. I'm looking forward to cooking this one up in my kitchen x

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Thanks, Julie! Definitely let us know how it turns out when you try it!

[@jamespalmer1096]

I made this. It’s freaking delicious. I’ve had it for three nights in a row because it makes a ton!

[@buckets212]

I always applaud recipes you make that don't rely on frying in oil. Keep it up!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Glad you like them!

[@kefirheals7383]

Whoa that's a helluva lot of ingredients and a helluva lot of steps. Looks delicious though. Maybe someone will make it and invite me to dinner. I don't think I'll be making this one anytime soon. Chopping, grilling, charring, boiling, blending, baking - whew, I'm tired already. You did a wonderful job showing us that it could be easy for the more industrious folks out there. Great chef work. I did copy and print the whole process - cuz I will never say never.

[@juliejohnson3807]

[@LindaCasey]

I'd have no doubt dumped all of the sauce over the casserole. Good idea using the corn chips.

[@vegantattoo7292]

Mmmmm. Looks amazing. Hopefully, you got some Hatch green chilis this year!! Lotsa love!

[@janinebell7027]

Loving the no oil recipe. I still use it, just much more sparingly. I don't know how I went my whole life not realizing that olive oil has 14g of fat and 120 calories a tbsp.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Glad you like the recipe, Janine!! Thanks for watching!

[@SparklySarah]

I love the artwork on the fridge! It's so cute!

[@mindsightent]

Looks awesome. Definitely trying this.

[@cleosavana4961]

Loved this!!

[@catherineslater4438]

This looks delicious! Love that it is no oil. I also like that the sauce is not potato-based like it is in so many cases. I have a potato intolerance, so finding an alternative for the usual potato and carrot base for the sauce is nice! Definitely going to try this!

[@angelakirby7811]

Thank you! That sauce looks amazing, the chip tip is a great add. yummy. Ooh la la

[@fabic1567]
