Smoked Paprika Vegan Cheese Recipe - Soy & Nut Free!!!

Nut and soy free vegan cheese recipe - amazing! It slices, grates and melts... all without the fat or allergy issues that so many other plant based cheeses seem to have.
This recipe is so easy to make and is great for a cheese platter, on crackers in a toasted sandwich or anywhere where you would normally use sliced or grated cheese :-)
Best of all it has no nuts or soy, so it is a great option for so many vegans that have food allergies to these commonly used ingredients.
Cholesterol free and no oils added... this is great for anyone wanting to eat a whole food plant based diet or for anyone wanting to have a traditional "treat" food without the guilt!!!
This is so exciting. I can't wait for you to give this a go and let me know what you think :-)

Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup oats
1 cup steamed sweet potato
1 chargrilled red bell pepper (marinated in vinegar)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1 tbs smoked paprika
2 1/2 tsp celtic sea salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbs lemon juice
1 cup water (extra for over top of mixture in blender)
.... you can also add any other spices, herbs etc that you like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------______----
1 1/3 cup water
2 1/2 tbs agar agar powder
NOTE: The two main things to keep in mind are that you need to use agar powder (if using flakes use 3 times the amount) and make sure you cook it long enough so it activates... also make sure NOT to use a lid when setting the cheese as this creates condensation and can make the cheese wet.
Enjoy xx

OH MY GOD, I JUST MADE THIS. It melts; tastes GREAT!!!, and I even made a few mistakes (not enough goop on the agar) but it turned out FANTASTIC!!!!

[@cookingwithplants]

***** Great :-) Glad you like it as much as I do :-)

[@JasminJonson]

you say it melts.. do you think this could be used on pizza? :D

[@happybuddyperson]

No doubt. The last few days I've melted it on bread, in tacos with fake meat, with beans, with vegan fries, pasta, even on sandwiches. It melts every time as long as you don't glob it on. I've also used it on pitas for a fajita so it would work as pizza. It also reminds me of pizza when I eat it.

[@manga4774]

***** sounds great, i cant wait to try this, but idk what you mean "itll melt as long as you dont glob it on" like too thick?

[@happybuddyperson]

yea if its thick it just gets hot but doesn't melt so much

[@Crisalsera]

As a person who quit eating meat and dairy just two weeks ago, I must say this cheese tastes EXACTLY like the hot melty cheese we get with nachos when going to the movies. It's incredibly yummy, but I must say I prefered it melted. Guys you have to try this on a baked cheese toastie with vegan butter on top, it's heavenly. Thanks so much Anja, you make my transition easier.

[@cookingwithplants]

+Crisalsera Welcome to the vegan lifestyle!!

[@TiaOnYoutube]

The mixture before the agar is delicious and would make an excellent cheese sauce for pasta.

[@marthacmd]

thanks

[@cubul32]

That's a great idea :). You could add a bit of agar agar, and make that cheese harden while cooking your pizza.

[@Alexis-iq7lz]

Just what I was thinking

[@rimmashilov1440]

Wow, it's smart idea, thank you

[@BijoudeBexar]

That's what I do w this and similar recipes. I remove a cup or so to use immediately on pasta, nachos or steamed veggies, then reduce the agar/water mix proportionally to finish the firm cheeze. It's nice to not have to wait hours to enjoy the savory goodness, and, as I live alone, i don't end up with more than I can eat before it goes off as this has a very short shelf life compared to a dairy cheese.

[@MyBabyReads]

We made this today. It tastes amazing, and grates and slices beautifully. I’m totally blown away that this is basically only oats, sweet potatoes, nutritional yeast and a few spices. Amazing. Thank you so much.

[@cookingwithplants]

So glad you like it as much as I do :-)

[@bonniebelmondo381]

Looks like cheddar

[@anaksunamoon8618]

I literally just made this and used it for grilled cheese sandwiches. Omg. my 4 year old devoured it and didn't even notice the difference . Thank you do much this was sooooooo good

[@cookingwithplants]

I'm so glad that you like it as much as I do... and that your 4 year old likes it ❤️

[@Markus_Kennedy]

+CookingWithPlants Looks delicious! Can't wait to give this a try! I'm curious though how long can you store these home made cheeses in the fridge before they go bad? Oh and keep making videos your channel is great!

[@cookingwithplants]

Mark Kennedy It will keep in the fridge for about 1 week. Or you can freeze it, but it is definitely best fresh :-)

[@kate580423]

is there any replacement other than oat? ^^Thx

[@amazongoddess118]

[@PotatoStrong]

Got my agar agar powder, smoked paprika and am marinating a roasted pepper as we speak...can't wait!

[@cookingwithplants]

Awesome!!!

[@MyArnette]

How was it?

[@kathrinepaterson9738]

HI Anja. I just made your smoked paprika cheese. The cheese is so delicious! I cannot believe how easy the recipe was to pull together. This is by far the best vegan cheese recipe I have made. I also used the mixture as a sauce poured over steamed cauliflower. I put all the cheese ingredients together, blended them together but did not add the water/agar . Again, delicious! I can't wait to try another one of your cheese recipes.

[@apostlelshelly9900]

Yes me too when I change my diet to vegan I have lost 74 pounds. Praise God!

[@apostlelshelly9900]

Maria Camila Angel- Yes my life style has been changed by the grace of God. However I do realize that my body is the temple of God 1Corinthians 6:19 Did God give us human bodies to used and abused as we like, or does he expect more?

Thank you, science who made the vegetables.

[@gerdaho1]

I must have made this fifty times already, but I do not want to buy agar agar any more and throw out thick plastic containers, so make it without (add less water) as sandwich spread, appetizer or nacho dip. Great for sharing with non-vegans, everyone seems to like it. Thanks for the recipe! This one and the egg salad are fav in this vegan household!

[@cookingwithplants]

Fantastic tip! So glad you like it.

[@artyj135]

Made this today - love it! Was worth waiting to order the agar powder. Just had it on toast and grilled it for a few minutes; it browned a little and was really tasty with tomatoes on top. I bought a smoked vegan cheese recently and it was mostly made of coconut oil and soy and I felt yukky after eating it - this is way better. I may make some more and freeze it as the big jar of peppers I bought for it need to be eaten in 3 days!

[@cookingwithplants]

+artyj135 Fantastic! So glad you like it... and yes, so much better than the commercial ones :-)

[@elishadanieljoseph8583]

Fantastic! Keep up the good work Eli... I'm prouf of you and so glad I can help :-)

[@peternicholls6532]

Turned vegan 3 months ago and love searching / making my own little recipes . I love smoked paprika so much it was getting expensive buying the little spice jars so I sent for a kilo of the stuff!. Will definitely be making this cheese recipe :) thank you!.

[@terianderson7951]

Thank you for the great recipe! I love that this is nearly fat-free. I used agar flakes... I used 8 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of agar flakes, which I allowed to soak in the water for 10 minutes before beginning to cook it. I cooked it for a good 10 minutes thereafter, just to make sure it was completely dissolved. Thanks again! I look forward to trying more of your recipes!

[@cookingwithplants]

Ive got to say, out of all the vegan cheese videos Ive ever seen, this is the one Im most excited to try! I didnt think you could make it without oil or nuts - THANKYOU!!! :-)

Thank you so much 😀

[@Indaboo1021]

I just made the recipe and its perfect. I wasn't sure I would have anything left in the blender before adding the agar....omg, so good. This would be a perfect cheese soup. I can't wait until the cheese is set and ready. Great recipe.

That's absolutely AWESOME. I just did it today almost after 6 years you put this recipe on this channel. Thank you for creating and sharing with us such a delicious vegan cheese recipe. Kudoos from Canada.

[@cookingwithplants]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@craftlover9702]

Can't wait to try! I bet it would be great with either jalepeno peppers added or instead of the red bell pepper a chipotle pepper.

[@migrantchick]

Made this today. It's delicious. Thank you Anya. I only had enough agar agar powder for half the mixture, whoops. I split the cheese mixture and made half solid 'cheese' and the other haf I will use over vegetables pasta or rice. Easy, no fuss recipe.

[@ScorpioSunScorpioMoon]

hi. i am going to try this and thank you so much. i have been looking for a recipe without cashews forever

[@cookingwithplants]

Excellent :-)

[@ShellyGageMusic]

I found this recipe this morning, and, luckily, I already had every ingredient on hand. I just took it off the stove, and it is now setting in a plastic container. The agar powder is amazing. It's unreal how non-vegan this cheese tastes, not to mention, the texture is just like cheese. Literally. Fresh off of the stove, it feels and tastes like melted dairy cheese. I love this. I will definitely be doing this again. Thank you! :)

[@cookingwithplants]

So glad you like this as much as I do x

[@Beatle214]

Wow wow wow! I just made this with my boyfriend and we love it! Also, adding just a dash (1/4 tsp) of cayenne pepper along with the other spices helps bring out the flavors. FYI the texture of the cheese once cooled is not like dairy cheese. It feels more like jello. However, it melts pretty well as we found out in a grilled cheese sandwich. Thank you so much for this recipe!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Beatle214 You need more agar powder or cook it a bit longer to activate it for it to set firm :-)

[@Beatle214]

+CookingWithPlants thanks for the reply! I have a follow up question. Is it possible to overcook it as well? 😅

[@cookingwithplants]

Beatle214 I don't think so. It just goes quite thick after a while. It's much more likely to be undercooked than overcooked.

[@brandtmccall5184]

I like this too as it has not oils in it. Thank-you good recipe for vegans.

[@singngurli4jc]

Yay! I just bought all the ingredients. I can't wait to make this tomorrow morning! I am Super excited!!! 😁🙏🏼👍🏼

[@MG63]

Thanks so much for this recipe. Instead of the oats I used chick peas and fried a red pepper in olive oil with onions and balsamic vinegar before adding to the blender, but it still tasted great. I really enjoy your videos and thanks again. Very much appreciated.

[@PotatoStrong]

Woah, nut free cheese for the win!

[@cookingwithplants]

I'm freaking out about this recipe... I've been doing a happy dance ever since I came up with it :-) I just had it in a toasted sandwich with organic brown rice miso paste and hummus... OMG!!!!

[@PotatoStrong]

CookingWithPlants I ordered the agar powder online and bought smoked paprika and sea salt. Still need the white pepper and sweet potato. Do you marinate the pepper in white vinegar after it's grilled or before? Do you think we could do other types - like a strict cheddar or jalapeno? I'm thinking of making subs like Subway and using this or perhaps some type of bean patty similar to the veggie patty they sell.

[@cookingwithplants]

Potato Strong I get the marinated ones from the shop and they are just in a vinegar and sugar brine. You could put any flavors you like... I actually ate mine with jalapeno and the chili punch was awesome. Let me know how you go :-)

[@cookingwithplants]

Potato Strong You could also use regular potato and black pepper... it would just change the flavor a little bit.

[@PotatoStrong]

I'll be buying those 2 things as I have to wait for the agar agar powder - had to order from amazon and the delivery estimate is at least a week. I don't have a lot of options where I live. Can't wait to try it!

[@CharGC123]

I want to thank you for this awesome recipe, it's a great option to the nut based fermented cheeses I usually make, and quicker and cheaper than the plant yogurt fermented cheeses too! Nice to have a variety and choice, great job!

[@cookingwithplants]

Glad you like the recipe Char :-)

[@barbarawinsor8401]

No nuts, no tofu, so it's basically fat free! Yay! I've been trying to find a vegan cheese recipe without nuts. Thank you! I like that you post the ingredients in the description too, so we can get an idea ahead of time. Awesome recipe! Love your channel!

[@Butterflyneverlands]

I don’t have a problem with nuts or soy but was sooooo hoping to get an alternative cheese recipe. You made it happen. Thank you so much. 🌱😁🌱

[@Unputonombre84]

I just bought your book in digital form. I am very surprised that it took me this long to come across your channel; I've been looking for just this kind of cooking: limited oil/nuts, flavorful, quick and easy, and most importantly, sustainable. I am so glad that I found you, thanks!

Rosemarie Calabro does it taste like cheese

[@m24_4]

Tried this today and wow! I can't believe it's nut free and low fat. I probably need to work on the consistency next time. Mine was just a bit soft because I panicked and thought the agar agar looked too think so I added more water. It has still kept it's form though and didn't affect the taste at all. Was amazing! Thank you so much :-)

[@cookingwithplants]

Awesome, glad you like it :-)

[@ingridshenny]

Great recipe! It's the first time I've seen a cheese recipe without nuts. I'll give it definitely a try.

[@MARIAFELIX-ii2uo]

omg!!!! That is the easiest recipe that I've seen cant wait to try. i did try the cauliflower taco meat and made tacos with fresh tortillas. my kids didnt even knew that it was cauliflower. all they were doing was enjoying the food. thanks soooo much.

[@cookingwithplants]

Enjoy x

[@TheAurorajulialis]

I'm really eager to try this! Raw nuts can be quite pricey, so it's nice to see that it can be done nut-free.

[@johnwatersjr.8978]

I'm baaack! I just wanted to let you know that I did just this evening make another batch of the better-than-cheddar cheese using the proper amount of agar flakes this time - and with amazing results. Because I like to experiment in the kitchen, this time I added a tiny bit flavoring from black truffle - just a bit - and because I didn't have smoked paprika I used a good Hungarian paprika and added almost a cap full of liquid smoke. The flavor is so divine, I wish I could send you a chunk. Be well, and thanks again for sharing. :)

[@cookingwithplants]

Great to hear from you :-) So glad it turned out and I'm glad you played with the flavors. Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Christiaan Esterhuizen Glad you like it as much as I do :-)

[@dantoinettem6825]

+Christiaan Esterhuizen Which herbs?

[@christiaanesterhuizen1227]

+D'antoinette M a bit of thyme and origanum

[@LyraLove1]

+Christiaan Esterhuizen thank you for this comment, I am alergic to yeast and was feeling really deprived as I can see it's a fantastic recipe, so I will have a go now without the yeast. I am surprised that it turned out well, yeast gives vegan cheeses the very cheesy taste. However, I will substitute it with some miso which tastes quite cheesy too.

[@contemporaryhomeaudio]

@@LyraLove1 yeast and nutritional yeast are not the same thing

[@singngurli4jc]

Yay! Finally! I was getting so discouraged because I kept seeing all the nut cheeses with cashews 🤢. I'm so glad that there's a different version I can eat without worrying about allergies. Cheese has been the hardest thing to stop eating. I'm looking forward to making this someday soon!

[@GlennReschke]

I'm looking forward to giving this recipe a go. Looks great.

[@lovemind8466]

Girllllll...When I tell you I am so happy I found your darn channel👏👏👏👏🙌..I love we some cheese & to able to make this & not miss out on the greatness of cheese that we all love so much. In doing this with some jalapenos and red onions lol thank you so much for sharing I can't wait to try this

[@JaneMadden]

You are a genius! This works beautifully. I did only 2 substitutions, plus I have a suggestion for others. Substitutions: My husband is not allowed oil in any form so I simply roasted a red bell pepper in the oven instead of using one that had been in oil & vinegar as noted in the video. The second substitution was to bake the sweet potatoes as I wanted to maximize the sweetness and in this part of the world baking is preferred over steaming to accomplish that task. As they say, to each their own. Suggestion: I tasted this mixture in the blender before I started the agar agar in the water. The flavor was fantastic! Just as a cheese sauce for anything, especially baked tortilla chips for the ever-popular nachos for parties, this would be very hard to beat. Thank you for both - the wonderful "cheese" and the immediate use as a sauce without the need for the agar agar process.

[@cookingwithplants]

Thanks for your feedback Jane. So glad you like it. I try not to add any oil to my recipes so the chargrilled peppers I had were only marinated in vinegar, salt and sugar brine (no oil) but making it yourself is even better :-) Well done and thanks for your comments. I loved the base sauce too for mac and cheese or grilled cauliflower etc

[@JaneMadden]

I have now taken the sauce base and used it on sliced baked potatoes and then heated, to make the most delicious scalloped potatoes! I think nachos are the next experiment. I have given samples of the "cheese" to omnivore friends and they loved it, too. It seems to be a hit from every direction!

[@cookingwithplants]

Made this today. What a triumph. Thank you for an amazing recipe. Funny story: I got the agar powder in sachets from an Asian grocer, and it has one tablespoon per sachet. When I opened the first sachet, I noticed it said “Orange colour” on the front in tiny writing. Soooo, my Cheese is a little more orange than it would normally be 🤣. It’s set beautifully, and worked well. Many thanks.

I know it's not a fresh vid but i have to say it (after all these years of me watching v-cheese videos and making it myself): You are the only one, who adds REASONABLE amount of nooch, while others used to put not more than 2 or 3 tbsp tops😕 We need a _strong_ 💪cheesy flava for our vegan cheese, people! And 2 tbsp will not make a thing. So nooch it, nooch it.. nooch it like you should!😀

No nut vegan cheese. I used a little less water so the flavors wouldn't be diluted. Just enough water that it will mix in my blender. Also I don't have a fancy blender like yours but it worked anyway. The real test will be whether or not my husband likes it! I also used a roasted red pepper and a half a roasted onion and 1 roasted garlic clove instead of the powders. My sweet potato was also roasted. Everything was in the oven yesterday ready for the experiment today. I got the agar agar at a Asian grocery near by also yesterday which gave me a good opportunity to get out of the house for a walk.

What a cool video! :) Keep up the good work ;) Hugs from Sweden

[@netsanetamare9725]

Delicious. Thanks. I used agar flakes instead of powder (had to use 3 times more) and my ordinary blender worked well. I roasted 3 local West Indian seasoning peppers as I had no red bell pepper. Will make this regularly.

Really nice idea, looks great and just what I'm looking for, I'm not sure what the Nutritional Yeast is here in Europe, I think that's the only query, so I need a bit of detective works there, but I plan to give it a try in next couple of weeks in the quest to reduce our impact on the planet and in particular the lives of animals.

[@Jjenjen13]

Mr Johns It is called "Savoury Yeast" here in Australia if that helps ?!

[@benpowell5014]

You can get it from Holland and Barret

I just tried this. It is wonderful. I subbed the smoke paprika for smoker serrano (this is what I had on hand) it still came out great and spicy. Also I found agar agar powder at an Asian grocery story for way cheaper than buying it online in case anyone is looking. I am in the US. Thanks again for this recipe. So happy and trying to be vegan faithfully. Thanks again love your channel.

[@cookingwithplants]

Awesome... so great to hear :-)

[@bjslady1]

Awesome! Can someone help me with the bell pepper... exactly how to prepare it? Marinade in vinegar, then grill it?

[@geronlee3504]

You can just buy the peppers already roasted in a glass jar, usually in your pickle section in your supermarket. Then if you want, you can take one of the roasted red peppers from the glass jar and soak it in vinegar for a bit.

I made this yesterday, and loved the flavour! I couldn't quite get around eating it cold in slices, as I found it a bit rubbery (not sure if that's the word). I tried it in a toasted sandwich with avacado, and it was the best! I think I will freeze the rest, in small portions, to use in sauces, sandwiches etc at a later date. :-) thanks for your creation. Love your channel!

[@cookingwithplants]

Glad you liked it :-)

[@tayfromthebay]

Will this be good for grilled cheese sandwiches?? I've been looking for a good mock yellow cheese.

[@yes2542]

Taylor Evans Try it let me know how it is.

[@spring7643]

Best cheese ever! Thank you CookingWithPlants!

[@cookingwithplants]

+gremlins 347 Glad you like it :-)

[@veronicasalas2666]

I've been looking for solid cheese recipes lately. I have the creamy cheese sauce down already and my vegan Parmesan. Well I found this recipe on another site and then I saw yours too. Since this recipe is lower calorie I thought I'd try it out first. This is such a good recipe! I made a large grilled quesadilla tonight and I'm going to make cheese enchiladas tomorrow. It has a delicious melty texture !! This is now my recipe. I'm in love 😋

[@cookingwithplants]

Fantastic... so glad you like the recipe as much as I do :-)

[@suehb8869]
