Vegan Parmesan Cheese (2 Ways!)
Report
Savory & irresistible! This "parmesan cheese" is made with cashew or almond. Sprinkle it on pizza, pasta, breadsticks, salads, and beyond.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashew or 1/3 cup almond flour, raw or almonds
- 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
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small food processor fitted with an S-blade.
- 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.)
- 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.
