This Vegan Queso recipe is super thick and creamy – you’d never know it’s filled with veggies! Made without cashews, this nut-free vegan queso is a cheesy, plant-based dip made allergy friendly!
This queso is such a perfect example of a ‘secret veggie’ recipe. Your friends or kids or guests will just be snacking away at this queso dip and they’ll never notice that it’s made of potatoes, carrots, and other whole foods. In my opinion, this is the best kind of plant-based recipe, when the dish is just tasty and you don’t even have to think about the fact that it’s also healthy.
The best part is that the veggies in this recipe make the dip sooo thick. The creamy potatoes create such a smooth, velvety texture. Perfect for queso.
Potatoes in queso?! YES. No cashews. Completely nut-free!
This queso is so tasty, and literally so easy to make. You’ll throw the veggies in the microwave to soften, and then toss all the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Take everything out of the food processor and serve – the queso will still be warm and fresh. YUM!
Step 1. Place the potatoes and carrots in a microwave-safe bowl (preferably one with a lid) add 1/4 cup of water and the lid or a paper towel. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Let cool until easy to handle.
Step 2. Add the potatoes, carrots, vegan cream cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic, cornstarch, apple cider vinegar, sriracha, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend, adding the water slowly, until smooth and creamy. Adjust spice level and salt as desired. Serve and enjoy!
No. The spices like nutritional yeast, garlic, cumin, and paprika help create a cheese-like flavor.
You won't notice you're eating vegetables.
Thank you God for foods that make us feel good and help us to gather and grow closer together. Amen.
