These dairy free cheesy sweet potato fries are so delicious. I love to put out a huge platter and just hand everyone a fork to dig in -- no plates necessary!
Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews
juice of 2 lemons
6 Tbs warm water
5 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tsp garlic powder
2-1/2 Tbs nutritional yeast
generous amount of sea salt, to taste
1 very large sweet potato, cut into fries (no need to peel it; just scrub it well)
2 oz thinly sliced pepperoni
big handful fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with 2 Tbs oil and season with salt and pepper.
Spread them out on a single layer on the baking sheets, trying not to crowd them.
Place in the oven and roast for 15 mins. Flip them over with a spatula, and roast for an additional 10 mins or until they are just cooked through. Switch the oven to broil and broil for about 3 mins or just until the top tray starts to color, then switch the trays so the bottom tray is under the broiler and broil about 3 mins, being careful not to burn them.
Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce: In a blender, combine the cashews, lemon juice, water, garlic powder, nutritional yeast and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until silky smooth.
Transfer the fries to a platter. Arrange pepperoni and basil among the fries.
Pour the cheese sauce over (using as much as you like; be prepared to have some leftover sauce for another use).
Serve with a bunch of forks and enjoy!
