Ingredients
 

  • 18 ounces green asparagus
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked overnight and drained
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt add more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1-2 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Clean the asparagus. Wash the asparagus under cold water and pat them dry. Using a sharp knife, cut off the ends of the asparagus (about 1 inch) and discard them.
  • Roast. Transfer the trimmed asparagus to the baking sheet and drizzle with the oil. Add the salt and toss to coat. Roast the asparagus for about 14 minutes or until the base of the asparagus can easily be pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Add the soaked and drained cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lime juice, salt, ground black pepper, water, and roasted asparagus to a blender.
  • Blend. Blend on high speed for 10-20 seconds or until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve warm with raw vegetables (carrots are great) or tortilla chips. Alternatively, this dip can also be served chilled, the asparagus flavor will be a bit less dominant.
  • This asparagus dip will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Adjust the baking time. The roasting time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus. If your asparagus is very thin, I recommend checking them after about 10 minutes.
  • Reserve a couple of roasted asparagus. Before blending, reserve some asparagus, cut them into bite-size pieces, and use them as a topping for your dip later!
  • Adjust the consistency to your liking. Depending on your preferences, you can make the dip more chunky or super smooth by adjusting the blending time.
