Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces vegan hotdog sausages
- 4 pieces hotdog buns
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup sliced onion
- 0.5 cup sliced jalapeños
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegan cheese sauce. Soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain and rinse.
In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric powder, water, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan hotdog sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and heated through, about 8-10 minutes.
While the sausages cook, slightly toast the hotdog buns on a separate skillet or in an oven until warmed and lightly crispy.
To assemble the hotdogs, place a cooked sausage in each toasted bun.
Generously drizzle the homemade vegan cheese sauce over each sausage.
Top with optional garnishes like sliced onions and jalapeños for added flavor and crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Cheese Hotdogs!
