Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews or almonds (or 1/3 cup almond flour)
  • 3 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (or up to 1/2 tsp.)
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a small food processor fitted with an S-blade.
  2. Pulse to combine until it reaches your desired texture. If using cashews or whole almonds, leave a little texture. (In other words, don't blend it to a fine powder. Over-blending causes it to become clumpy.)
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add more salt, seasoning, nutritional yeast, etc.

Notes

  • Yield: Recipe makes about 1/2 heaping cup.
  • Storing: Store the parmesan cheese in a sealed glass jar or other airtight container in the refrigerator. I find it keeps for several weeks or up to a month or two, but use your best judgement.
  • Serving tip: It tastes best when freshly sprinkled on dishes right before serving. (As opposed to cooking it or baking in the oven where it loses some flavor.)
  • Estimated nutrition: This is calculated for the cashew version.
