Almost Healthy Vegan Poutine

For all my Canadian friends, this one is for you! Okay, well not just my fellow Canadians, but I think this will hold a special place in your hearts. 🙂 This vegan poutine is not quite your traditional cheese curds and gravy smothered french fries type dish. Instead, I’ve made it healthier. Of course. 😉

First off, I start this dish with roasted potato wedges, rather than deep fried french fries. Although baked french fries would also be perfect here. Perhaps even an air fryer would make wonderful potatoes, but I haven’t tried it that way yet. So, roast your potatoes until golden and super crispy. You want them a little overdone so they don’t get overly soggy when you smother them in the cheesy sauce. While your potatoes are baking, chop up your veggies and prepare the cheese sauce.

If you’re avoiding oil, you can bake your potatoes without it. Just use parchment paper on your tray and leave space between the wedges so they don’t stick together. They won’t crisp up quite as much, but they will still be delicious!

Divide your roasted potatoes into two serving dishes, or 1 large platter if you’re sharing. Then generously pour your vegan cheese sauce over top, and finally sprinkle with your fresh veggies. I use green and red onion and tomato to sprinkle on top, but feel free to experiment! Some cilantro, corn and jalapeno would also be a great combo to put a Mexican spin on your poutine. I’d love to hear what you come up, so please share in the comments below!
