How to Prepare Jalapeño Poppers With Peanut Sauce [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 390°F.
  2. To make the cashew cream cheese, place the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, cilantro, lemon juice, spices, and water in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then mix through the grated vegan cheese.
  3. Cut the jalapeños open from the top and remove the seeds. Alternatively, you can cut the peppers open from the side. Fill the peppers with the cheese mixture and leave aside.
  4. Prepare a simple batter by mixing together the tablespoon of flour and non-dairy milk. Now coat the jalapeños first in flour mixed with a pinch of salt, then in the batter, and then in breadcrumbs. You can do a double-coating if you want an extra crispy crust. When ready, place in a single layer on a baking sheet and brush with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until slightly browned and crispy.
  5. For the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.
