Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • 2 medium roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup water (or more for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them.
  2. If using fresh peppers, roast them under the broiler or on a grill until the skin is charred. Peel off the skin and remove the seeds.
  3. Drain the soaked cashews and blend them with roasted red peppers, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Gradually add water to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with fresh herbs or paprika, and serve with veggie sticks, chips, or as a spread.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce the water or add more cashews.
  • For a nut-free version, use sunflower seeds or tahini instead of cashews.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
