Ingredients
- 1 cup Aquafaba (chickpea liquid)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your herbs: finely chop the fresh parsley and thyme and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the aquafaba and use a handheld electric mixer or a whisk to beat it until soft peaks form. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Gently fold in the fresh lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and olive oil. Be careful not to deflate the foamy texture.
Step 4
Once incorporated, add the chopped parsley, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper into the mixture.
Step 5
With a spatula, gently fold all the ingredients together until well mixed and uniform in texture. Avoid stirring too vigorously to maintain the foam.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice if preferred.
Step 7
Transfer the vegan lemon herb foam sauce to a serving dish and serve immediately over your favorite grilled vegetables, pasta, or protein alternative.
