A dish doesn’t always have to be complex or difficult to make in order for it to taste amazing. This easy peasy cheesy dehydrated broccoli fits that description. The hardest part of recipes is waiting the 10-12 hours that it takes to dehydrate. Yes, lovely people, dehydrating takes that long, but we promise that the juice is worth the squeeze. All you have to do is put the broccoli in the dehydrator in the morning and they’ll be ready by dinnertime!

These dehydrated cheese broccoli bites make for a great, healthy snack. It’s so much better and more enjoyable to eat these as opposed to raw broccoli florets. The reason for that is due to the sauce, in which you toss the broccoli prior to dehydrating the florets. The sauce has a cheesy quality because of the nutritional yeast, but it also has salty and sweet notes from the coconut aminos. The hemp seeds provide protein and fiber, but you can opt to use cashews if you have them on hand. Alternatively, leave out the hemp seeds or cashews completely! What these ingredients do is help thicken the sauce, but the majority of the flavor comes from the other ingredients.
