Ingredients:
- 12 fresh jalapeño peppers, halved and seeds removed
- 1 cup vegan cream cheese (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup vegan shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella style)
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for cheesy flavor)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for crunch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the jalapeños by slicing them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds and membranes with a spoon. (Wear gloves if needed to avoid irritation.)
- Make the filling by mixing together vegan cream cheese, shredded vegan cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
- Fill the jalapeños with the prepared cheese mixture, pressing it in slightly to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
- Add the crunch by sprinkling panko breadcrumbs on top of each jalapeño. Drizzle with olive oil to help the breadcrumbs brown during baking.
- Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, until the jalapeños are tender and the tops are golden.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with vegan ranch or a dairy-free sour cream dip.
