Instructions
Start by washing the bell pepper and cut it into pieces. They don't need to be too small because we will blend them anyways.
Add bell pepper to a metal pan or high-quality non-stick pan on medium-high heat and cook for 5-10 minutes until lightly charred. Add a little bit of water if it burns too much.
Add to a food processor or high-speed blender with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Add water little by little if the sauce is too thick until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Notes
If you want to make a spicy vegan cheese sauce, you can add chili or jalapeno to this recipe. Simply add them to the bell peppers to the pan and fry as well.
