Roasted Veggie Nachos

By srumbel

These Roasted Veggie Nachos are such a fun twist on regular nachos! Roast your favorite veggies and make a simple non-dairy cheese sauce and you’re all set for Meatless Monday or even a Football Game! While roasted veggies are not necessarily “comfort food” for most putting them on top of a crispy, salty chip and topping it all with melty cheese sauce…well veggies just became crave-able.

Step 1

Roasted Veggies

Preheat the oven 425°F
Line large baking sheet with foil. Spread the vegetables on the pan in a single layer careful not to overcrowd the pan. Mist or drizzle with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
Roast the veggies for 20 minutes until they are soft. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Arrange the tortilla chips on a serving patter and set aside.

Cheese Sauce

In a medium skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Once it’s melted whisk in the flour, cooking for one minute. Slowly pour in the milk, constantly whisking. Heat the milk, whisking continuously, until the mixture comes to a boil and is thickened.
Immediately whisk in the cheese, stirring until melted.
Arrange the veggies on the tortilla chips and then pour the cheese sauce on top.
Serve immediately.

Notes
You can easily make this recipe with dairy milk and dairy cheese/butter if you don't have the nondairy options on-hand. This is a great adaptable recipe!
