A creamy, flavorful vegan queso made with wholesome plant-based ingredients, perfect for dipping chips or drizzling over your favorite dishes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 cup water (more as needed for consistency)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the cashews in hot water for 20 minutes, then drain.
  2. In a pot, boil the potatoes and carrots until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain.
  3. Add the soaked cashews, cooked vegetables, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, spices, salt, and water to a blender.
  4. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve warm with tortilla chips or drizzle over nachos, tacos, or vegetables.

Notes

  • For a spicier queso, add jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • If you don’t have a high-speed blender, blend longer and add extra liquid as needed.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat gently before serving.
  • You can substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor.
