Hey you guys, Eric here at Emu Vrest and welcome back to the kitchen. So as of late we have been receiving a lot of feedback from you guys as we asked for, as far as whether you'd like to see more vegan, nutritious and delicious snack videos. And of course you guys gave us a resounding yes and a thumbs up so we are here to deliver. Today we're going to be making a vegan cashew cheese sauce along with some sweet potato fries. This is going to be delicious for any type of day. You can have it as a snack, you can have it as part of a delicious dinner or grill out with family and friends. Let's get right into it. For your vegan cheese sauce you will need one cup of soaked rinse and drained cashews, a quarter cup of nutritional yeast, a half teaspoon of turmeric powder and salt and pepper to taste. It's important to soak your cashews anywhere from 30 minutes but ideally between four to six hours before blending. This helps the cashews to take up as much water as possible making them blend a lot more smoothly and it also makes them more digestible. What we're going to do is take our little mini blender here and place all of our ingredients into the cup. The last thing that we're going to do is add in a splash of water to the mixture just enough so that this can blend evenly and smoothly. Start with less and work your way up. I will also say that even if it gets a little bit what you would consider soupy, once you pop it in the refrigerator it will firm up quite a bit. Let's get blending. So it's not quite as smooth as I would like it so like I said start with less liquid. Add a splash more. See how things go. Awesome so this is the smooth consistency that we're talking about. Perfect. So let's just talk about why cashews cheese is amazing. Other than the fact that dairy cheeses are highly inflammatory we're going to save that for an entirely separate video. I will say that the one ingredient that is the star of this cashew cheese is turmeric because it's highly anti-inflammatory and it's an anti-cancer ingredient. Another important tip is that adding black pepper in with turmeric helps you to reap the most benefit from the turmeric. So this is a powerhouse along with cashews being a much healthier option as a source of fat rather than from dairy sources. All right you guys now onto my favorite as of late our oil-free sweet fries. So what you will need is three large sweet potatoes. A half teaspoon of onion powder, a half teaspoon of garlic powder, and a half teaspoon of paprika or chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. First up we're going to chop our sweet potatoes into french fries. Add them to our large mixing bowl with our spices and a dash of water. Mix them up and then we're going to cook them. For this video we are going to use our new cossori air fryer. We just got this thing in the mail and we love it. It cooks fries, cauliflower, tofu, all kinds of stuff in a matter of minutes. So these french fries I think you're going to take 10 minutes to cook up. You can however use the oven. So in the oven we put them on a cooking tray with some parchment paper. Again drizzle with some water and cook at 425 for a little bit longer, probably closer to 25 minutes. Our fries are spiced up. Our air fryer is our air fryer is preheated. Now all we have to do is add the fries to the air fryer. And then we go back to temp 400 time 10 minutes. Start and this will alert you to shake halfway through. So obviously shake your fries halfway through and it will be good to go. This thing rocks and it's super quick. Little man is 5 months old and we have not yet started solids but he has been reaching and grabbing for anything and everything including our sweet fries, including our cashew cheese dip. So we will probably start experimenting really soon. If you guys have any tips or tricks as far as introducing solids to a 6 month old then let us know. Shake midway. Okay fries are done. They took a little bit longer, about 12 or 13 minutes. They're going to be super tasty. We can't wait. So let's plate these up and dip them in some cheese sauce.
