Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor along with the 1/2 cup water, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. The cream should be thick and pourable with no visible cashew pieces.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1 minute. Watch closely, as garlic can brown quickly.
