Ingredients
- 12 fresh jalapeños, halved and seeded
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 4 hours and drained
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Jalapeños: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.
- Make the Filling: In a blender or food processor, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Stuff the Jalapeños: Spoon the cashew mixture into each jalapeño half, filling generously. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for added crunch.
- Bake: Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the filling is slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Jalapeño Poppers warm!
