Fat-Free Vegan “Cheese” Sauce and Mac ‘N’ Cheese

1 small zucchini, peeled and sliced (130 g, you will need about 1 cup sliced zucchini before cooking)

5 small yukon gold potatoes (220 g, use any yellow or "buttery" potato, but not russet!)

¾ cup -1 cup water, as needed to reach desired thickness (I ALWAYS use 1 cup, so keep that in mind in regards to other ingredients)

¼ cup nutritional yeast (20 g)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

½ to ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika or regular if you don't like smoked, add to taste keeping in mind the water amount

2 teaspoons liquid aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, do not omit, this is what gives the cheesy flavor)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or more to taste

Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapenos

note: Note: This recipe is only 8 ingredients (+ salt & water), so each ingredient is crucial to the final flavor result, so subbing or eliminating an ingredient can greatly alter the result. The weight in grams is provided for accurate results.
