Equipment

High-speed blender or food processor
Large mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking sheet
Pizza cutter or sharp knife

Ingredients

For the Cashew Cheese:

1 cup raw cashews soaked for 4 hours or overnight
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp salt
½ cup water

For the Nachos:

2 cups almond flour
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
½ tsp salt
¼ cup water
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
To prepare the cashew cheese, drain the soaked cashews and place them into a high-speed blender or food processor. Add nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
For the nacho chips, mix almond flour, ground flaxseed, and salt in a large bowl. Add water and olive oil, then knead the dough until it forms a ball.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to a thickness of about 1/16 inch (1.5mm). Remove the top parchment and cut the dough into triangle shapes using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
Transfer the parchment with the cut dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, let the chips cool for a few minutes; they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
To assemble the nachos, arrange the chips on a serving plate and drizzle generously with the cashew cheese. You can optionally garnish with toppings like sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or avocado cubes for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Vegan Cashew Cheese Nachos!

Notes

Soaking the cashews is essential for achieving the smoothest cheese consistency; however, if you're short on time, you can soak them in very hot water for 1 hour.

The almond flour can be substituted with another nut flour if desired.

Feel free to customize your nachos with keto-friendly toppings like olives, green onions, or a dollop of guacamole.
