Spinach and garlic simmer until buttery and tender in a creamy, flavorful cashew-miso sauce. The result is incredibly savory, nourishing greens that are lighter than your average creamed spinach! Plus, just 20 minutes and 8 ingredients required. Let us show you how it’s done! This dairy-free dream dish starts off with a creamy, savory sauce made by blending cashews with miso paste and nutritional yeast for cheesiness, salt and pepper for flavor, and lemon juice to balance it out. Next, we sauté spinach with garlic and (optional) red pepper flakes to create a subtly spicy, flavorful base. After cooking, the spinach shrinks down A LOT and we stir in the cashew-miso sauce. The mixture becomes thick and saucy and the spinach gets melt-in-your-mouth tender. Top with crispy fried onions (optional, but worth the effort) and prepare for spinach-haters to have their minds changed. We hope you LOVE this vegan creamed spinach! It’s:CreamyGarlickySavoryQuick & easyRich yet light& SO delicious! It pairs well with nearly any main or alongside other sides. For a comfort food feast, pair it with our Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes and Vegan Lentil Nut “Meatloaf.” You won’t be disappointed.
