Vegan Stuffed Peppers with “Goat Cheese”

Vegan Stuffed Peppers with Vegan Goat Cheese!

Hello beautiful people, welcome back to another tasty plant-based recipe. Today it’s time for Stuffed Peppers with Vegan Goat Cheese (yes you red it right!)

My vegan journey has been pretty smooth over the past 7 years, but one thing that I sure do miss is the taste of goat cheese. I was a BIG fan of goat cheese and have been working on different recipes to kick those cravings.

It took me a while, it was especially difficult to get that intense flavor and consistency right. But I am so thrilled to have finally found it and share it with you all!

What I really love about this Vegan Goat Cheese recipe is that the ingredients are SO easy to find and it’s even easier to make.

Usually vegan cheese has lots of different ingredients and making it is quite tricky, but the only things you need to do to make this Vegan Goat Cheese is soak the cashews and blend all the ingredients together!

Not going to lie – I have been eating these every single day for a week now as my afternoon snack. Just hits all those right spots! Baking is an option here but I do highly recommend them as a raw snack.

In search of a Food Processor to make all of your vegan dip and sauce dreams come true? Here are our top 3 picks:

Our Current Processor: The Magimix

  • Now, listen. I LOVE my food processor. But I did not purchase this until I was already a recipe creator for 3 years and, in those three years, I saved up a heck of a lot of pennies. Once my original food processor died (you will see it below!), I decided to upgrade to this absolutely magnificent machine. Is this necessary for your kitchen? Probably not. BUT, if you are serious about creating recipes and have the budget, this is one that cannot be beat. P.s this has a THIRTY year warranty.

The Cuisinart 14-cup Food Processor

  • Brushed stainless steel, 720-watts, large capacity….this is an absolute gem of food processors! I love how it all detaches like our magimix and makes creating AND removing easy. If you have ever had a food processor where the blades do not detach, then you know the struggle.

Cuisinart Food Processor

Cusinart 7 Cup Food Processor

  • So, sadly, our original food processor is no longer being sold (I find this a bit odd!), but this one is the closest that I could find for the price range, brand name, and quality. I always recommend going for the higher cup size (10-14 range), but this is a wonderful option for small families/singles/students. If budget is a concern and you are a larger family, go for the refurbished items before going down in size (I promise, a small cup size will drive you INSANE and you will kick yourself for not going bigger and refurbished!). So this has a stainless steel detachable blade, compact cover, spatula, extra large feed tube, and a 5 year motor warranty.

Ingredients

  • 5 Mini Sweet Peppers
  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked for a few hours or overnight

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 green onion diced thin

Instructions

  • Blend together the cashews, garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt until smooth. Taste test and adjust to your liking.
  • Wash and slice the mini bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and add a nice big scoop of the cashew cream inside. Top with sliced green onion. Enjoy!
  • If you would like to bake (I do recommend trying the raw first!), pop into the oven for 15 minutes at 425F/218C. Add the green onions once baked. Enjoy!

Notes

**These can be eaten with any pepper you wish - big/small/spicy!
**To save money, feel free to sub for 1/2 cup sunflower seeds with 1/2 cup cashews. You can also opt to use 1 cup sunflower seeds but be sure to add just a bit of sugar for the bitter taste :). As soon as I get my hands on some sunflower seeds I will make a new recipe for this.

Compostable & Unbleached Parchment Paper

Compostable Parchment Paper
The parchment paper by “If You Care” is unbleached, chlorine free, and compostable. I have used this up to the highest oven setting without any issues! Paper, in it’s natural state is beige or light brown. For years people have subjected it to a bleaching process to create the white sheets we all know and love. Unfortunately, cleaning the paper is having the opposite effect on the environment. The most common bleaching agent – chlorine dioxide (ClO2) – occurs naturally as a component of salt, but once it separates from it’s natural pair it begins to cause problems. The paper bleaching process deposits chlorine in the lakes and streams where mills are most commonly located, and once there it bonds with organic matter in the form of dioxins. Dioxins are a group of highly toxic chemicals that are thought to pose negative effects on reproductive and immune system development, as well as cause several kinds of cancers. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there is no safe level of dioxin exposure.
