Smoky Roasted Vegetables Cheese Sauce [dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan]

1 very small onion, chopped
1 carrot (washed and unpeeled), chopped
1 cup Butternut squash, peeled and diced (or use a cup of frozen)
a large Yukon Gold potato, peeled and chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped into 4 pieces
1/2 cup orange grape tomatoes (which needed to be used up!)
3 cloves of garlic (leave in husk)

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the above vegetables on a parchment paper-lined baking tray with sides.
Roast for about 25 minutes (check at 20 minutes to see if the potatoes, carrots, and squash are fork tender).

Then, add the roasted veggies to the Vitamix with:

1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1 t salt
1 t liquid smoke
1/4 t chipotle pepper
1/8 t cumin
1 1/2 cups water (more if needed)

Blend until smooth and creamy!
