Gluten-Free Vegan Stuffed Mini Peppers with Vegan Garlic Cashew Spread

Step 1

Optional: Soak the cashews in filtered/purified water for 15-30 minutes, then rinse and drain. This will make them soft and the filling extra smooth.

Step 2

Cut the top end off the mini peppers, then cut them in half long-wise and set aside.

Step 3

Add all ingredients for the filling to a Vitamix and blend until everything is well combined, but still thick, taking care not to over blend it into a liquid consistency and using the tamper if needed.

Step 4

Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference.

Step 5

Take a spoonful of the filling and fill the inside of each pepper half.

Step 6

Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley.

Step 7

Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator.
