INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup cashew butter made with the NutraMilk
- 3 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 small white onion, diced
- 1/3 cup pre-cooked sweet potato
- 1/3 cup jarred roasted red pepper
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8-10 jalapeños halved and seeds removed
For cashew butter
- 2 cups (300g) cashews
- 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Start by taking cashew butter
- Place cashews and salt in the NutraMilk container.

- Press Start.
- Open the container lid.
- If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat a small pan over low-med and add garlic, onion. Cover and cook 1-2 minutes, then add a splash of water and cover quickly to de-glaze pan and speed the cooking process.
- Let cook for 3-5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become browned in color but not burnt.
- Add sweet potato, roasted red pepper, cashew butter, garlic and onion, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to the NutraMilk.
- Process until a thick “cheesy” mixture forms. If it seems too thick, add water or broth 1 tbsp. at a time.
- Spoon mixture into the halved jalapenos and bake in oven in a baking dish for 20 minutes.
- Increase oven temp to 425 degrees and cook an additional 5-10 minutes, depending on texture preference. Enjoy!
