Roasted Asparagus and Cashew Ricotta Tartine
by Dishing Up the Dirt
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Serves: 4
Ingredients
Cashew Ricotta
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Tartine
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 baguette of bread
- flakey sea salt for serving
- olive oil and fresh lemon juice for serving
Preparation
- Prepare the cashew ricotta by draining the cashews from the warm water. Rinse under cold water then place the cashews in a food processor along with the remainder of the ingredients. Process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Add a touch more water to thin if necessary. Taste test and adjust the seasonings if need be.
- Preheat the oven to 425. Toss the asparagus with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until tender and lightly charred. About 15-20 minutes. Toss the asparagus halfway through cooking.
- Slice and toast your baguette. Spread each slice with a healthy amount of the cashew ricotta and top with roasted asparagus. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
