Vegan Jalapeno Poppers
Description
These savory jalapeño poppers are a great vegan appetizer for game day or parties. Diced mushrooms are a meaty addition instead of bacon.
Ingredients
•
12 medium jalapeno peppers, sliced in half and seeded
•
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
•
1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, finely diced
•
1/2 cup finely diced onion
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 (8 ounce) tub vegan cream cheese substitute, softened
•
1 cup vegan shredded cheese substitute, divided
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set jalapeño halves on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, open side up.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the skillet and saute until vegetables are tender and mushrooms have released their liquid, about 8 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up the excess moisture.
3
Mix mushroom mixture, cream cheese substitute, 3/4 cup shredded cheese substitute, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Spoon into the jalapeño pepper halves on the baking sheet.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
5
Remove from the oven and top with the remaining 1/4 shredded cheese substitute. Broil until the cheese is melted and slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
