Paleo Älplermagronen with Bacon and Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients

• 2 cups Butternut squash, cubed
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red onion, sliced
• 8 slices Bacon, chopped
• 1 cup Cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
• 1/4 cup Nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 2In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of butternut squash, 2 cups of broccoli florets, and 1 medium red onion, sliced. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
3. 3Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and have slightly browned edges.
4. 4While the vegetables are roasting, place the 8 slices of chopped bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.
5. 5Drain the 1 cup of cashews that have been soaking. Place the drained cashews into a high-speed blender. Add the 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the blender. Add 1/2 cup of water.
6. 6Blend the ingredients in the blender on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
7. 7Add the roasted vegetables from the baking sheet directly into the skillet containing the reserved bacon fat. Pour the creamy cashew sauce over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir everything together gently over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables and sauce are heated through.
8. 8Crumble the cooked bacon over the top of the vegetable and sauce mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
9. 9Serve the Paleo Älplermagronen immediately.
