  • 16 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped marinated artichoke hearts (From a 12-oz jar), drained
  • 1 cup coarsely crushed kettle-cooked potato chips (about 1 ½ oz)

Method

  1. Add milk, cashew butter, vinegar, miso, 3 tbsp nutritional yeast, 2 tbsp oil, and ½ tsp salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute. (Cashew cream can be prepared and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days in advance).
  2. Preheat oven to 375 deg F with 1 rack in center of oven and 1 rack 6 inches from heat.
  3. Coat a 9-inch square (or 6 to 8 cup) broiler safe baking dish with cooking spray.
  4. Place cashew cream, spinach, quinoa, artichokes, and remaining 1 tsp salt in a large bowl; fold to combine.
  5. Transfer mixture to baking dish. Bake on center rack until heated through and set, about 20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, combine chips and remaining 1 tbsp each nutritional yeast and oil in a medium bowl.
  7. Top casserole with chip mixture. Place on top rack and increase oven temperature to broil. Broil until chips are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
