- 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 4 cups soy milk
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Pinch ground nutmeg
Optional: 1 cup fresh shredded parmesan or 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY VEGAN BECHAMEL SAUCERECIPE
To start making my bechamel sauce, you’ll want to melt vegan butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Then, whisk in flour. You should begin to have a thick paste. Continue to cook, whisking constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the flour flavour.
Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in 1 cup soy milk until well combined. Add the onion powder, salt, and ground nutmeg. Add remaining soy milk, 1 cup at a time, whisking constantly until the sauce is free of lumps. Then, increase heat back to medium and continue whisking sauce until it thickens, about 5 mins.
If you are using vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast (optional), add it in now, remove from heat, and whisk until melted. Taste & season with salt and pepper.
Voila! A Creamy Vegan Bechamel Sauce!
NOTES: If you want a thicker bechamel, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and add to the boiling bechamel, whisking constantly until thickened.
