Equipment

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Steam or boil cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots for 4–5 minutes until just tender-crisp. Drain well. Be careful not to overcook!
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and thickened. Stir in cheese(s), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper until creamy.
Spread vegetables evenly in the baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the top.
Mix crushed crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over casserole.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
