Preparation Steps

  • Start by soaking the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the jalapeños in half and remove the seeds. Roast them on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes.
  • In your blender, combine the soaked cashews, cooked white beans, roasted jalapeños, nutritional yeast, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, light miso, Dijon mustard, agave nectar, and water. Blend until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, remaining nutritional yeast, sea salt, black pepper, and avocado oil until well coated.
  • Pour the creamy jalapeño mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top.
  • Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  • Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dippers!
