ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 medium russet potato
- 1 medium tomato
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1 bulb of garlic
- Olive oil
- 2 cups vegetable broth or stock
- 1/2 cup cashews, soaked*
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Step 2
Wash and chop the sweet potato, Russet potato, tomato, and onion. Cut the top off the bulb of garlic.
Step 3
Place all the chopped veggies on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the veggies have cooked and softened.
Step 5
Once roasted, transfer the cooked veggies to a food processor. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the bulb, discarding the skin, and add them to the processor.
Step 6
Add the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, a splash of olive oil, vegetable broth, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika to the food processor. [*Note: To soak the cashews, place them in a bowl, cover with water, and let them sit for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This softens them for easier blending.]
Step 7
Blend the ingredients for several minutes until the mixture turns smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Transfer the vegan queso to a serving bowl.
Step 9
Top the queso with fresh tomato slices, jalapeno, cilantro, and chili flakes.
