Which is probably why this recipe tastes absolutely amazing to me! Not only does it smell incredible, it also looks super pretty. Adding these bright peppers, to a usually boring white winter dish, adds a fun pop of colour that everyone will enjoy.
The tribelli peppers make this common comfort food dish way more exciting! How could you not love these festive colours!

This recipe is one hundred percent gluten free and dairy free, just like all my other recipes. There is something about creating a common dish with a healthier spin, that makes my heart jump for joy. I love being able to enjoy a classic meal, that doesn't hurt my stomach after eating it! And no guilt - the best way to eat!
This cauliflower bake is loaded with golden cauliflower, and a creamy + garlicky + dairy free sauce.. all baked to perfection with soft and pretty tribelli peppers. What makes this recipe so creamy is the cashews! I know shocking right?! It is like a thick cashew milk.
I added in nutritional yeast to make it taste more "cheesy". This is an mouth watering trick I learned while attempting to go vegan last year! Nutritional yeast is a great additive for all former cheese lovers!

The other thing that I want to mention that makes this recipe amazing is that it is low carb! For anyone who is on a Keto diet, this recipe is one you can eat everyday!
If that's the way you want to roll! I personally like to switch up my meals but hey! I am not one to judge 😉 My mom is currently on the Keto diet so I am always looking for ways to create new and exciting recipes for her!
I hope you enjoy this creamy cauliflower bake!!
