How To Make Vegan Parmesan Cheese
Easy, 4-ingredient vegan parmesan cheese that's perfect on top of pastas, pizza, and anywhere you'd usually use parmesan cheese!
Servings 16 (1-Tbsp servings)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup raw cashews
- 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and mix/pulse until a fine meal is achieved. Be careful not to overblend or it will become a paste. Store in the refrigerator to keep fresh. Lasts for several weeks.
- I love vegan parmesan on top of chilaquiles, vegan pizza, breadsticks, pastas and gratins. It’s also a great addition to vegan meatballs and can be converted into mexican cheese 3 ways!
