Summer Vegetable Gratin with Vegan Béchamel Sauce
If you're used to baked dishes with béchamel sauce being super heavy, we're about to change your world! Maggi has a great béchamel sauce mix that is typically used in dairy-based dishes, as they advertise. However, we thought we'd get a little creative, and gave it a shot with almond milk. The mix itself happens to be completely vegan. Although the ingredients at the back do mention that there may be traces of eggs and milk, they are required to state this because the product is made in a facility that also handles dairy products. But as far as we are concerned, it's safe to say that its a vegan product. Check out the video below for a light and healthy alternative to regular gratin!
