Vegan Jalapeno Poppers image

These savory jalapeño poppers are a great plant-based party or game day appetizer. Diced mushrooms add a "meaty" addition with the absence of bacon, and vegan cheese substitutes keep this appetizer vegan.

Time 50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium jalapeno peppers, sliced in half and seeded
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, finely diced
½ 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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set jalapeño halves on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, open side up.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • 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.
