- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the cabbage into thick wedges or rounds, about 1 inch thick. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the cabbage with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce
- In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and nutmeg (if using).
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
- Transfer the roasted cabbage to a baking dish.
- Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the cabbage wedges.
- Sprinkle vegan cheese shreds and nutritional yeast on top.
Step 4: Bake
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
- For extra browning, switch to the broil setting for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
