Gooey Baked Broccoli Queso #wfpbno

I modified the recipe from the Gloriously Vegan Air Fryer Cookbook. It came out great, so it's mine now!!!!!

Vegan Queso:

1 russet potato peeled, cubed, boiled.

4 level TBSPs nutritional yeast.

1 TBSPs tapioca flour.

1 level tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder.

1 TBSP apple cider vinegar. 

1TBSP lemon juice.

1/2 tsp smoked paprika.

1/4 tsp liquid smoke.

1/2 tsp turmeric.

1/4 tsp tabasco sauce.

1/2 tsp ground turmeric.

1 tsp salt or to taste.

1 cup unsweetened plant based milk.(I used homemade oat milk)

1 crown of broccoli broken into florets and steamed until tender.

1 jalapeno pepper minced.

Set the cooked broccoli and diced jalapeno aside.

Mix the dry ingredients together to prevent clumping.  

Put the dry ingredients into the blender first, followed by the potato and remaining wet ingredients. Blend thoroughly until smooth. Pour it into a pot and heat it gently (don't boil it) while stirring until it thickens (about 5 min). Let it cool a little which thickens it more. 

Add the diced jalapeno pepper and stir it in.

Line a casserole dish with parchment paper. Put the florets into the dish and fold in the queso.

Pre-heat the oven to 375F. Bake for 25 min. Stir it up a little then serve.  (It's good cold too!)
