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!
I am not hyperbolizing here…Nachos are my favorite food. BY FAR. Probably because nachos are endlessly adaptable. All you do is put your favorite on a tortilla chips and voila Nachos!
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.
And might I mention that roasted vegetables are my favorite way to get my vitamins.
Let’s talk for a quick minute about the cheese sauce that is poured all on top…because it’s not a nacho without cheese! Well, it’s creamy, dreamy and actually made with Silk Almond Milk and vegan cheese! I don’t usually think about using almond milk in place of dairy milk most of the time, but honestly it’s a great, nutritious substitute.
So these are Vegan Nachos…and no one will know the difference! Silk’s plant-based beverages and yogurt alternatives are extremely versatile in the kitchen and can be used to create delicious meat- and dairy-free versions of your go-to meatless recipes.
Having an option that everyone, despite their dietary restrictions, will enjoy will make you a tailgate rockstar!
Just line a baking sheet with foil and chop up your favorite veggies…
Season them liberally with salt and pepper and give them a nice drizzle of olive oil. Another trick I like is to spray them with a light mist of olive oil to help cut back slightly on the fat!
When your veggies are roasted make your cheese sauce. Do this step last because the cheese sauce will need to be used immediately.
Top your chips with the veggies and then drizzle as much cheese sauce as you would like!
The more the merrier, I say!
And seriously, dig in. This is fancy football food for sure.
I am obsessed with these Nachos and using Silk in the cheese sauce elevates this to a whole new level!

Oh yum! What a neat twist on regular nachos! And a delicious way to eat more veggies. I can’t wait to try!
Roasted veggies! That’s what was missing. Now my nachos are healthy and I don’t have to feel guilty anymore.
I don’t know how I can express my love for nachos. I guess I usually do it by shoving them in my face while cheese drips down my chin. But seriously, you can have so many kinds of “perfect nachos” without making any other kind less perfect. My eyes popped when I saw these! *unceremoniously crashes Mrs. J’s football party.
This is an awesome idea!! LOVE it!
OMG nachos are my favorite food too. It’s a problem. This looks so good with roasted veggies on it. Way healthier than the ones I make ?.
