Keto Jalapeno Poppers Dip

Author: Sarah Cook

Servings: 10

Ingredients

• 1 cup cashews

• 4 1/2 cups water divided

• 4 cloves garlic chopped

• 2 jalapenos seeds and ribs removed, diced

• 2 green onions sliced

• 4 strips bacon cooked and chopped

• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

• kosher salt to taste

Instructions

1. In a deep vessel, cover cashews with 4 cups of water. Let soak for 2-12 hours. If you are using a food processor or conventional blender, 12 hours is best.

2. Drain the cashews, and place them in a food processor or high-powered blender along with 1/2 cup of water. Pro tip: f you are using a food processor, you’ll want to make sure the 1/2 cup of water is pretty hot.

3. Blend, blend and blend until the cashews are incorporated and silky smooth. A food processor will likely take about 5 minutes and require a lot of pauses to scrape down the sides. A Vitamix still needed almost 2 minutes, and I scraped the side down once.

4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

5. Combine the cashew cream with the rest of the ingredients (reserve a few slices of green onions), and place in a small oven-proof baking dish.

6. Bake for 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Sprinkle with reserved sliced green onions.

Recipe Notes

Serve with sliced fresh veggies, a topping for baked potatoes, or a garnish for roasted vegetables.
