Easy Cheesy Vegan Parmesan
Description
Easy Cheesy Vegan Parmesan is crafted by finely processing raw cashew nuts with nutritional yeast and seasonings until crumbly but not creamy. The nutritional yeast imparts a strong umami flavor reminiscent of aged cheese, while the garlic and onion powders add depth. The small addition of turmeric gives a subtle yellow hue akin to traditional parmesan. Because the mixture isn’t overprocessed, it retains a granular texture that can be sprinkled easily as a cheese substitute.
This vegan parmesan is a useful condiment for those seeking dairy-free options with cheesy flavor. It can be stored refrigerated for up to a month, making it convenient for regular use on a variety of dishes. Its texture and taste work well to finish pastas, salads, and cooked vegetables without melting.

- ⅛ teaspoon Turmeric ground
